It performs all its energy generation, transformation and marketing activities on an integrated basis. In the oil and gas industry, such activities include exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, transportation of oil products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas, refining, the production of a wide range of oil products and the marketing of oil products, oil derivatives, petrochemical products, LPG, natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG). In the electricity industry and following the acquisition of Viesgo (see Note 4), it adds the generation and marketing of electricity and natural gas. 1.2) About the parent company The corporate name of the parent company of the Repsol Group that prepares and files these Financial Statements is Repsol, S.A. It is registered at the Madrid Companies Register in sheet no. M‐65289; its tax ID number (C.I.F.) is A‐78/374725 and its C.N.A.E. no. is 70.10. Repsol S.A. is a private‐law entity, incorporated in accordance with Spanish legislation, which is subject to the Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), whose consolidated wording was approved by Legislative Royal Decree 1/2010 of July 2nd, and all other legislation related to listed companies. Its registered office is in Madrid, 44 calle Méndez Álvaro, where the Shareholder Information Office is also located, the telephone number of which is 900 100 100. The shares of Repsol, S.A. are represented by book entries and listed on the continuous market of the Spanish stock exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia).1 The Company also participates in the ADS (American Depositary Shares) Program which, on March 9, 2011, began to trade on the OTCQX market, a platform within the OTC (over‐the‐counter) market in the United States, and which distinguishes issuers with improved market information policies and solid business activities. 1.3) About the consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary information The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Repsol, S.A. and its investees, comprising the Repsol Group, present fairly the Group’s equity and financial position at December 31, 2018, as well as the Group's consolidated earnings performance, the changes in the consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Board of Directors of Repsol S.A.2 at its meeting held on February 27, 2019 and they will be submitted, together with the financial statements of its investees, for approval by their respective Annual General Meetings; it is expected that they will be approved without any modifications.3 The Group’s Management Report is published jointly with the consolidated financial statements.

1 On January 28, 2019, the shares of Repsol, S.A. were withdrawn from the public offering and listing regime in Argentina. 2 The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the Group’s parent company, makes it necessary to use accounting estimates and judgments when applying the accounting standards. The areas in which most significant judgments and estimates have to be made are detailed in Note 3.

1.4) Main changes in the Group's activities On May 18, 2018, Repsol, S.A. sold its stake (20.072%) in Naturgy Energy Group, S.A. to Rioja Bidco Shareholdings. (formerly Gas Natural SDG, S.A. and, hereinafter, “Naturgy” or “Naturgy Group”). On June 6, 2018, the update of the Strategic Plan for 2018‐2020 (“Strategic Plan”) was published. One of the three pillars on which the Strategic Plan is based is the development of new businesses associated with the energy transition, paying particular attention to the development of the gas business, low‐emission production and the marketing of gas and electricity. To date:
- The acquisition of non‐regulated low‐emission electricity production businesses operated by Viesgo was completed, together with its gas and electricity marketing company (see Note 4); and
- Valdesolar Hive, S.L. was acquired, which will develop a photovoltaic project in Valdecaballeros (Badajoz), and
which will have a rated power of 206.24 MW (263.7 MW peak) and may be operative between 2019 or 2020.
The Group, also in line with its Strategic Plan, increased its international presence in the Downstream businesses in Mexico, where it inaugurated the first service stations, and it entered in the Lubricants business with the acquisition of Bardhal de México, S.A. and in Peru where Energy Perú SAC was acquired, adding 26 service stations to the more than 500 that Repsol already had in the country. 1.5) Breakdown of the Group The Repsol Group contains more than 300 companies incorporated in more than 40 countries (mainly in Spain, the Netherlands, Canada and the United States) that, from time to time, carry out activities abroad through branches, permanent establishments and so on. The Repsol Group comprises subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates. Appendix I details the main companies, subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates that form part of the Repsol Group included in the scope of consolidation. In the Oil&Gas industry, exploration and production activities are usually carried out through partnerships or associations between companies classified as joint arrangements, which are implemented through Joint Operation Agreements, which are included in the shareholders’ financial statements in accordance with the share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses arising from the agreement, or as Joint Ventures, which are included in shareholders’ financial statements using the equity method. In 2018, significant changes took place in the Group's composition due to the sale of the 20% stake in Naturgy Energy Group, S.A. and the acquisition, within the framework of the strategic update, of the businesses tied to the energy transition. There were no significant changes in the Group’s scope of consolidation in 2017.
For further information on changes in the Group's composition, see Note 4. and Appendix I.

(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION 2.1) Main principles The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared based on the accounting records of Repsol, S.A. and its investees. They are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union (EU) as of December 31, 20181 and other provisions of the applicable regulatory framework.2 Of the changes in accounting standards that have been applied by the Group as of January 1, 20183 that are noteworthy due to their impact on these financial statements were IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as described in section 2.2.2 of this Note. Repsol prepares its consolidated Financial Statements including the investments in all its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates,4 whose accounting standards have been unified with those of the parent in order to present consolidated financial statements by applying uniform accounting policies. The consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros, which is the functional currency of the parent company and presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements. The items included in these consolidated financial statements relating to the Group companies are measured using their functional currency, which is the currency in the main economic environment in which they operate; when this differs from the presentation currency, the conversion is carried out as stated below: i) The assets and liabilities in each of the balance sheets presented are translated applying the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date, ii) income and expense items are translated applying the average cumulative exchange rate for the financial year in which the transactions were performed (however, the transaction‐date exchange rate is used to translate significant transactions or when exchange rates have fluctuated significantly during the reporting financial year), and iii) any exchange differences arising as a result of the foregoing are recognized as "Translation Differences" under the Equity heading. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of an entity are deemed to be ‘foreign currency transactions’ and are translated to the functional currency by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At each year end, the foreign currency monetary items on the balance sheet are measured applying the exchange rate prevailing at that date and the exchange rate differences arising from such measurement are recorded as “Net exchange gains/(losses)” under Financial result. The exchange rates against the euro of the main currencies used by the Group companies at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
Closing rate Accumulated average rate Closing rate Accumulated average rate
US dollar 1.15 1.18 1.20 1.13
Brazilian real 4.44 4.31 3.97 3.61
December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017
1 The IFRSs adopted and in effect in the EU differ in some respects from the IFRSs issued by the IASB; however these differences do not have a
material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the years presented. 2 The policies considered significant in accordance with the nature of the Group's activities are described at the end of this Note and other significant
policies and those considered an accounting policy option are shown in the corresponding Notes. 3 The standards applied effective January 1, 2018, are: i) IFRS 9 Financial Instrument; ii) IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers; iii)
Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers;; iv) Amendments to IFRS 4 Application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance contracts; v) Annual Improvements to IFRSs, 2014‐2016 Cycle; vi) Amendments to IFRS 2 Clarifications of classification and measurement of share based payment transactions; vii) Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of investment property; and viii) IFRIC 22 Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration. Except as described in section 2.2.2 for IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, the other standards have not had a significant impact.
4 Group companies are classified according to the control exercised over them: i) subsidiaries: Those companies over which Repsol exercises direct or indirect control, are fully consolidated, ii) joint arrangements: those whose strategic operational and financial decision‐making require unanimous consent from the parties wielding joint control and classified as i) joint operations structured through a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA), or a similar vehicle whose stakes are retained by the Group or through a stake in fully consolidated subsidiaries, or ii) joint ventures recognized using the equity method; and iii) associates: stakeholdings over which there is significant influence, where Repsol's consent is not required in strategic operational and financial decision‐making, but over which it has power to intervene and that are accounted for using the equity method.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments came into force on January 1, 2018, with the option of not restating comparative information corresponding to 2017. The impact of its initial application has been recognized directly in equity, as follows: Asset impairment: The initial application of the new scheme of impairment due to credit risk based on expected loss1 has entailed a negative impact of €348 million, mainly attributable to financial assets associated with Venezuela. This impact has been recognized under "Retained earnings and other reserves", (Note 7) broken down as follows:

Classification of financial assets: Financial assets have been classified at January 1, 2018, as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss under "Other comprehensive income)" according to the nature of the contractual cash flows of the assets and the business model applied by the company,1 there have been no significant impacts as a result of the changes in classification. Below is the reconciliation of the classification of financial assets under IAS 39 and IFRS 9 on the date of initial application:

NOTE: Does not include "Other non‐current assets" and "Trade receivables and other receivables" in the balance sheet, which, at December 31, 2017, came to €470 million (non‐current) and €5,161 million (current), of which €1,028 million correspond to current accounts receivable on commodities sales agreements, which are measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss; the remainder corresponds mainly to trade accounts receivable measured at amortized cost.
(1) Portfolio of companies not consolidated or accounted for using the equity method. (2) VR: Fair value.
In terms of financial liabilities, there has been no significant impact on the classification or measurement as a result of the application of IFRS 9. Hedge accounting and derivatives:
The Group has chosen to apply IFRS 9 for the accounting of its hedging activities, despite the standard allowing for the continued application of IAS 39 until the IASB completes its “Dynamic risk management” project, on account of the greater flexibility provided by the new standard. The new standard: (i) eliminates the requirement of retroactive assessment in order to evaluate the continuity of the hedge; (ii) allows the mitigation of accounting asymmetries caused by the operation of supply and marketing of commodity contracts and derivative instruments used as their economic hedges, through the application of the fair value option to such contracts and; (iii) provides greater flexibility in relation to hedge accounting, specifically in relation to the instruments that can be used as hedging instruments and in relation to the transactions that can be hedged. There have been no impacts of initial application for IFRS 9 in relation to hedge accounting. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers and the amendments to the rest of the IFRS affected by it was applied on January 1, 2018, without re‐stating the comparative information relating to 2017. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts and applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless such contracts are within the scope of other standards. According to the new accounting recording requirements, the revenue from each of the contract performance obligations must be separately identified,
1 Investments in debt held within a business model whose objective is to obtain contractual cash flows consisting exclusively of the principal and
interest are generally measured at amortized cost. When these debt instruments are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows of the principal and interest and the sale of these instruments, generally speaking, they are measured at fair value with changes in "Other comprehensive income". All other investments in debt and equity will be measured at fair value with changes through profit or loss. However, it is possible to irreversibly decide to include subsequent changes in the fair value of certain equity instruments in "Other comprehensive income" and, in general, in this case only dividends will be recognized afterwards in income.

classified and accrued. Among other issues, the standard also establishes the accounting criteria for activating the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.
The Group has reviewed the type of contracts with customers (mainly sales of crude oil, gas, petroleum products, chemicals and lubricants and specialties) and has not identified in these that there is generally more than one performance obligation. Repsol fulfills its performance obligation through delivery of the product, generally hydrocarbons, which occurs at a particular moment in time. The following impacts derived from the application of IFRS 15 are identified, which have been recorded under the balance sheet heading “Retained earnings and other reserves”:
(1) Two distinct performance obligations have been identified in contracts for the bulk supply of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG): (i) the sale of liquefied
gas, which occurs at a specific point in time; and (ii) maintenance services, which are provided generally over the life span of the contract, giving rise to a contractual liability shown under "Other non‐current liabilities" and "Trade payables and other payables" for outstanding services and that, as of January 1, 2018, came to €20 million and €4 million respectively, and accumulated losses of €18 million after tax, recognized under "Retained earnings and other reserves" (see Note 7).
According to certain Upstream segment contracts, for the payment of Group taxes, production deliveries are made to national oil companies which, once the control has been transferred, they can market freely in the market. Based on the economic substance of the transactions, the monetary value of these production volumes is shown under "Sales" on the income statement (formerly under "Services rendered and other income"). The amounts recognized in 2018 under "Sales" come to €570 million for this item. As regards the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, the costs that the Group had previously recorded under the balance sheet heading “Intangible assets” as reflagging costs have been identified as such. The net balance of this item at January 1, 2018, came to €26 million Finally, in relation to the additional breakdowns of information, the opening of revenue from ordinary activities (corresponding to the sum of the headings “Sales” and “Services rendered and other income”) by geographical area has been incorporated (see Note 19).
2.2.3 Earnings per share Earnings per share at December 31, 2017 have been restated with respect to that recognized in the 2017 consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting standards, as the average number of outstanding shares considered in the calculation should be based on the new number of shares issued after the capital increases carried out as part of the compensation scheme to shareholders known as the “Repsol Flexible Dividend” system described in Note 7.

1 No significant impacts have been identified resulting from its application. 2 With regard to these standards and amendments, the Group is currently assessing the impact their application may have on the consolidated financial statements, without any significant impacts having been identified to date.
3 Includes Amendments to IAS 12 Income tax, to IAS 23 Borrowing costs and IFRS 3 Business combinations and to IFRS 11 Joint arrangements. 4 The application of these amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, which were originally issued in September 2014, was deferred indefinitely in December 2015, until such time as the IASB completes the project relating to the equity method, which, in turn, has been delayed until the post‐implementation phase of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12.
IFRS 16 Leases: IFRS 16, Leases, was issued in January 2016, adopted by the European Union in October 2017, replacing IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretation IFRIC 14 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and breakdown of lease information. Changes in accounting regulations The main change introduced by IFRS 16 was the requirement for leases currently classified as operating leases by the lessee to be recognized in the balance sheet with similar methods to those used for finance leases under IAS 17 in force until 31 December 2018. IFRS 16 is effective for the annual periods commencing from January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 does not introduce significant changes regarding the recognition of lease arrangements by the lessor. It does introduce significant changes for the lessee who, on the date on which the lease commences, must recognize a liability for lease payments and an asset for the right to use the "underlying asset" during the lease term in the balance sheet. Likewise, lessees must separately recognize the expense for the financial update of the lease liability and the amortization charge for the "asset for the right of use". Accordingly, the adoption of IFRS 16 will improve operating income in 2019, while increasing the finance cost. Cash flows from operating activities will also increase while, on the other hand, cash flows from financing activities will be reduced. The lessees must also re‐assess the amount of liabilities from leases if certain events occur (for example, changes in the lease period, fluctuations in future lease payments due to variations in an index or rate used to determine such payments, changes with regard to the exercise of purchase options, etc.). Lessees will recognize the amount of the new measurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset for the right of use, with the exception of a downward adjustment that exceeds such value, in which case, income would be recognized for the amount of such excess.

First‐time application options The Group decided to opt to perform a simplified retrospective application of the regulation, whereby the impact of the first application will be recognized in the heading “Retained earnings and other reserves” without a re‐expression of the comparative periods. Within this option, the Group calculated the lease liability as the current value of the outstanding payments of the arrangements in force at the date of first‐time application and retrospectively calculated the value of the asset for the right of use, only for those arrangements with the greatest quantitative significance, having considered for the remaining arrangements the value of the leased liability as the initial value of the asset for the corresponding right of use. It will also make use of the options envisaged in the standard for lessees, which permit the lease liability and the asset for the right of use corresponding to lease arrangements for assets of little value (equivalent amount in euros to US $5,000) and short‐term leases (leases for a period equal to or less than a year) not to be recognized in balance sheet. In agreements that contain leasing and other components, mainly services, the Repsol Group will separate such components and recognize solely the lease component, pursuant to IFRS 16, Leases, and recognize other component as a performance contract, in accordance with the accrual criterion of the expense under the agreement. A specific review was performed of the lease arrangement inventory classified as operating leases in accordance with the new standard, and new lease arrangements not identified previously did not arise. With regard to the discount rate1 used for these calculations, the Group generally used the incremental rate of the lease payable on the date of first‐time application, which was determined taking into consideration, among other factors, the term of the arrangement, the economic climate of the country and the currency in which it was denominated and, when significant, the characteristics of the underlying asset. Lastly, in relation to the recognition of leases in Joint Operations, which is very common in the performance of oil exploration and production activities, the Group performed a specific analysis of all its contractual obligations and will recognize all those arrangements for which it has a contractual obligation with the lessor in the balance sheet, that is, all those arrangements which: (i) it has signed in full as operating partner on its own behalf; (ii) it has jointly signed a joint arrangement with the remaining partners, in line with his percentage of ownership in the arrangement; and (iii) those that have been signed by the operating partner on behalf of the consortium or the remaining partners of the joint arrangement, in line with the terms and percentage of ownership of each partner in the arrangement. With regard to the arrangements signed on its behalf by a third party in the position of operating partner in a joint arrangement, the Group will recognize, as its percentage of ownership in the arrangement, those contracts for which it is determined that a sub‐lease exists, considering in this assessment, both the repayment obligation to the operating partner of the costs of the main lease arrangement, and the control of the right to use the asset identified by the Group.
1 The average discount rate applied to operating lease liabilities recognized at the date of first‐time application of IFRS 16 was 3%.

Impacts of first‐time application The first‐time application of IFRS 16 will represent an estimated impact of ‐€83 million after taxes recognized in “Retained earnings and other reserves”:
(1) In 2018, they were recognized in the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets headings for the amount of €768 million corresponding to financial lease arrangements prior to the first‐time application of IFRS 16 which, from January 1, 2019, will be recognized under “Assets for rights of use” (see Note 15).
(2) Basically relates to the lease of offices, service stations and facilities, cargo ships and Upstream operation platforms, Likewise, the burdensome provision associated with certain operating lease arrangements will be cancelled against the corresponding asset.
(3) Includes the financial lease liability in accordance with the previous accounting standard.
Although the Group does not expect significant changes in these estimates, these figures may vary as a result of the review process under way at the date these financial statements were prepared. The reconciliation between the operating lease commitments at December 31 and the liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 16 is as follows:
€ Million
Operating lease commitments as at 31 December (see Note 19,8) 1,599
Financial discount on future payments (209)
Short‐term and low‐value leases (23)
Operating lease liability recognized as at 1 January 1.,367
Other impacts As a result of the new accounting treatment of leases under IFRS 16, the Group's net income will not be affected (or the impact will be immaterial). However, other financial aggregates will be affected and, for example, operating profit will increase (lower operating expenses) and financial profit will decrease (higher financial expenses). Net cash change will also not be altered by the application of IFRS 16, but its classification will: cash flow from operating activities will increase and cash flow from financing activities will decrease, to the same extent. In relation to the Alternative Performance Measures used by the Group, the application of the new IFRS 16 will also have impacts. Thus, for example, EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization”) and cash flow from operations will be increased. The calculation of net debt at December 31, 2018 does not include lease liabilities (recognized in “Other non‐current liabilities” and “Trade and other payables” of the balance sheet).

ACTIVITY‐SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Hydrocarbon exploration and production operations: Repsol recognizes hydrocarbon exploration and production operations using accounting policies mostly based on the “successful efforts” method. Under this method, the various costs incurred are treated as follows for accounting purposes: i. The costs of acquiring exploration permits and the costs of geology and geophysics (G&G) incurred during the exploration phase are capitalized under the heading "Exploration permits" of intangible assets. During the exploration and evaluation phase they are not amortized and the existence of impairment is assessed at least once a year and, in any case, when there is an indication that impairment may have occurred, in accordance with the indicators of IFRS 6. Once the exploration and evaluation phase is over, if no reserves are found, the amounts capitalized are recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account. ii. The costs of acquiring new interests in areas with proved and unproved reserves and resources (including bonds, resource‐related costs, legal costs, etc.) are capitalized as incurred under the "Investments in areas with reserves" item of property, plant and equipment. iii. Exploratory drilling costs, including those relating to stratigraphic exploration wells, are recognized as assets under the heading “Investments in Exploration” until it is determined whether reserves justifying their commercial development have been found. If no reserves are found, the capitalized drilling costs are registered in the income statement. In the event that reserves are found but remain under evaluation for their classification as proved, their recognition depends on the following: ‐ If additional investments are required prior to the start of
production, they continue to be capitalized whilst the following conditions are met: (i) the amount of proved reserves found justifies the completion of a productive well if the required investment is carried out, and; (ii) satisfactory progress has been made in the evaluation of reserves and the operational viability of the project. If any of these conditions fails to be met, they treated as impaired, and are expensed in the income statement.
‐ In all other cases, if there is no commitment to carry out
significant activities to evaluate reserves or develop the project within a reasonable period after well drilling has been completed, or if activities have been halted, they must be recorded as an expense in the income statement.
‐ Costs incurred in exploratory drilling work that has yielded
a commercially exploitable reserve are reclassified to “Investments in areas with reserves” under property, plant and equipment at their carrying amount.
iv. Exploration costs other than G&G costs ("Exploration rights and geology and geophysical costs"), excluding the costs of drilling exploration wells and exploration licenses, are recognized as an expense in the income statement when incurred. v. Development expenditure incurred in lifting proved reserves and in processing and storing oil and gas (including costs incurred in drilling relating to productive wells and dry wells under development, oil rigs, recovery improvement systems, etc.) are recognized as assets under the “Investments in areas with reserves” heading of property, plant and equipment.
vi. Future field abandonment and dismantling costs (environmental, safety, etc.) are estimated, on a field‐by‐field basis, and are capitalized at their present value when they are initially recognized under “Investments in areas with reserves” against the dismantling provision item (see Note 14).
The investments capitalized as described above are depreciated according to the following method (see Note 3).
i. Investments in the acquisition of proved and probable reserves and common facilities are depreciated over the estimated commercial life of the field on the basis of the production for the financial year as a proportion of the proved and probable reserves.
ii. The costs incurred in surveys for the development and extraction of hydrocarbon reserves are depreciated over the estimated commercial life of the oil field on the basis of the relationship between the production of the period and the total of the most probable proved reserves of the field.
iii. Investments carried out in fields that are in the development or exploitation phase are not depreciated. These investments are tested for impairment at least once a year and whenever indications of impairment are detected. The changes in estimated reserves are considered on a prospective basis in calculating depreciation. Service/Gas station association rights and other rights: Primarily corresponds to the costs of agreements linked to gas station association rights, incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers through reflagging rights and image rights of publicity and exclusive supply to gas stations recognized under intangible assets. They are amortized on a straight‐line basis over the period of the contract (between 25 and 30 years for the former and 1 year, which may be extended to a maximum of 3 years at the request of the counterparty for the others). Swaps of oil products: The Group arranges swaps of oil products of similar nature with other companies in a number of geographical locations so as to minimize transport costs and optimize the Group's logistics chain. These transactions are not recognized in the income statement as separate purchases and sales, but are recognized for the net amount. Carbon emission allowances: Emission allowances are recognized as an intangible asset and are measured when initially acquired in the market at their acquisition price, whereas free of charge emission allowances are measured at the market value prevailing at the beginning of the year to which they were issued, against deferred income as a grant (see Note 31).

(3) ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles makes it necessary to make assumptions and estimates that affect the valuation of the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognized, the presentation of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the income and expenses recognized during the year. The actual results could differ depending on the estimates made.
The accounting policies and areas which require the highest degree of judgment and estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are: (i) crude oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) calculation of the recoverable value of assets (see Notes 11, 12, 13 and 20); (iii) business combinations (see Note 4), (iv) assessment of investments in Venezuela (see Notes 13 and 20); (v) provisions for litigation, dismantling and other contingencies (see Note 14); (vi) income tax, tax credits and deferred tax assets (see Note 23); and (vii) market value of derivative financial instruments (see Note 9). Crude oil and gas reserves The estimate of1,2 oil and gas reserves is a key component of the Company's decision‐making process. Oil and gas reserve volumes are used to calculate depreciation and amortization charges, applying the unit‐of‐production ratio method, and to test these Upstream assets for impairment (see "Testing assets for impairment and calculating their recoverable amounts” in this Note). Changes in reserve volumes could have a significant impact on the Group’s results. To estimate proven and unproven reserves and oil and gas resources, Repsol uses the criteria established by the “SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE/ SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management System”, commonly referred to by its acronym SPE‐PRMS (SPE standing for Society of Petroleum Engineers). In 2018, a change in the accounting estimate was made prospectively in relation to the depreciation of certain assets relating to hydrocarbon exploration and production operations. Since January 1, 2018, the production unit criterion (see previous section) has been applied considering all the amounts of reserves expected to be produced with the investments made (proved reserves plus probable reserves, or proved reserves plus probable developed reserves). Repsol considers that the new amortization ratio will provide a better reflection of the consumption pattern of the economic benefits of this class of assets, having been applied from January 1 with the availability of the necessary reserves information and the completion of the relevant asset performance analyses. The estimated positive effect of this change on results for 2018 amounts to 336 million euros.3 Calculating the recoverable amount of assets In order to ascertain whether its assets have become impaired, the Group compares their carrying amount with their recoverable amount at least annually and whenever there are indications that an asset might have become impaired (“impairment test”). If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its net book value, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. After an impairment loss has been recognized, amortization charges are calculated prospectively on the basis of the reduced carrying amount of the impaired asset. When there are new events, or changes in existing circumstances, which prove that an impairment loss recognized on a
1 The classification of reserves can be consulted below:
Proved reserves: Proved reserves (scenario 1P) are those quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that, with the information available to date, are estimated to be recoverable with reasonable certainty. There should be at least a 90% probability that the amounts recovered will equal or exceed the 1P estimate.
Probable reserves: Probable reserves are those additional reserves, which together with proved reserves make up scenario 2P. There should be at least a 50% probability that the amounts recovered will equal or exceed the 2P estimate. This scenario reflects the best estimate of the reserves. Contingent resources: Those quantities of oil that are estimated, at a given date, to be potentially recoverable from accumulations known from the application of development projects, but which are not currently considered commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.
Repsol applies “SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE/SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management System”, where these definitions can be consulted.
2 Independent engineering firms (at least 95% of the reserves are audited externally in a three‐year cycle) periodically audit registered volumes. 3 The future impact (distribution of depreciation over time) will depend on their production and the variation in estimated reserves.

prior date could have disappeared or decreased, there is a new estimate of the recoverable value of the corresponding asset, to determine whether it is applicable to reverse the impairment losses recognized in previous periods. An impairment loss of goodwill cannot be reversed in the following years. In the event of a reversal of a previously recorded impairment, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable value, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined in the event no impairment loss had been recognized for the asset in prior years. For the “impairment test”, assets are grouped into cash‐generating units (CGUs), to the extent that such assets, when individually considered, do not generate cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets of the CGU. The grouping of assets into the various CGUs implies the use of professional judgments and the determination, among other criteria, of the business segments and geographic areas in which the Company operates. Against this backdrop, in the Upstream segment, each CGU corresponds to one of the various contractual exploration areas widely known as ‘blocks’; exceptionally, if the cash flows generated by more than one block are mutually interdependent, these blocks will be grouped into a single CGU. In the Downstream, segment, the CGUs are defined as a function of business activities (mainly Refining, Chemicals, commercial businesses ‐Marketing, LPG, Lubricants, Asphalt and Specialisms‐ and electricity generation and marketing) and geographical areas. With respect to the North American Gas Trading business, the Group includes a single CGU that essentially encompasses the North American assets. Goodwill acquired on a business combination is allocated among the CGUs or groups of cash‐generating units (CGUs) that benefit from the synergies of the business combination and the recoverable amount thereof is estimated, generally, by discounting the estimated future cash flows of each unit, up to the limit of the business segment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. The methodology used by the Group to estimate the recoverable amount of assets is, in general, the value in use calculated by discounting to present value the future cash flows after tax expected to derive from the operation of these assets. The cash flow projections are based on the best available estimates of the CGUs’ income and expenses using sector forecasts, prior results and the outlook for the business’s performance and market’s development:
‐ The Group’s annual budget and the business plan set macroeconomic forecasts for each of the countries where it has business operations, which include variables such as inflation, GDP growth, exchange rates, etc. that are used to quantify the abovementioned income and expense estimates. The aforementioned macroeconomic forecasts are prepared on the basis of the content of internal reports that use in‐house estimates, based on updated external information of relevance (forecasts prepared by consultants and specialized entities).
‐ The Group's oil and natural gas price trend estimates (see Note 20.1) are prepared on the basis of available macroeconomic, financial and market information and analysts' forecasts. Key market variables and their foreseeable evolution are analyzed in order to calculate this, including their own forecasts of the balance of supply and demand of energy and prices. The longer‐term vision is also explained by the monitoring of other variables such as: the decline; the current CAPEX; the financial sustainability of the companies in the sector to certain price environments; and the dynamics in OPEC countries in terms of fiscal sustainability. Econometric models of prices are made with all these elements, which are compared with both public and private external forecasts.
i. To estimate near‐term (2‐3 years) price trends, we basically use forecast reports produced by a selection of, investment banks, macro consultants and international benchmark agencies.1
ii. The sources that present a sufficiently detailed analysis of long‐term forecasts are the macro consultants and benchmark agencies (IEA and EIA). The latter perform detailed research on supply, demand and price forecasts under various scenarios
The resulting prices are consistent with the annual budget and the updated business plans.
Valuations of Exploration & Production assets (Upstream) use cash flow projections for a period that covers the economically productive useful lives of the oil and gas fields, limited by the contractual expiration of the operating
1 The macro consultants used are Platts Analytics (previously PIRA), IHS and Wood Mackenzie. For long‐term estimates, the only sources that produce sufficiently detailed analysis and forecasts are the benchmark agencies (IEA and EIA), so only these views are considered.

permits, agreements or contracts. The key valuation assumptions used to determine the variables that most affect this business´ cash flows are summarized below: ‐ Oil and gas sales prices. The international benchmark prices used by the Group are: Brent, WTI (West Texas
Intermediate) and HH (Henry Hub). In countries where international list prices do not reflect local market circumstances, the prices modeled factor in local market prices.
‐ Reserves and production profiles. Production profiles are estimated on the basis of output levels at existing wells and the development plans in place for each productive field. As a consequence, these profiles are then used to estimate proved and unproved reserves and resources. (See previous heading “Crude oil and gas reserves”).
‐ Operating expenses and capital expenditure. These are calculated for the first year on the basis of the Group’s annual budget and thereafter in keeping with the asset development programs, applying an escalation factor for operating expenses and investments basically of 2%.
In the Downstream segment, the various businesses’ cash flows are estimated on the basis of the outlook for its key variables (unit contribution margins, fixed costs and investment flows required to maintain the level of activity), in keeping with the expectations reflected in the annual budget and in the strategic plans for each business. Cash inflows and outflows corresponding to future restructuring exercises or initiatives to enhance the assets’ performance are not considered. The cash flow projection period considered for this is generally five years; cash flows after year five are extrapolated without factoring in any further growth. Specifically:
‐ In the Refining business, and given the impact of the expansion work and upgrades carried out at the refineries,
long‐term projections (specifically at over 20 years) will be performed.1 For the purpose of calculating residual values, the only investment considered is maintenance capital expenditure and any investment needed for renovation purposes in order to maintain the CGU’s productive capacity.
‐ The key assumptions for the North American & Gas Trading businesses cash flow estimates are as follows:
i. Gas and LNG prices. The international benchmark prices used are: Brent, HH, Algonquin, JKM (Japan Korea Marker) and NBP (National Balancing Point), adjusted as required for local market considerations in the event that these benchmarks do not fully reflect local market circumstances. The price trend used is consistent with the one employed for the annual budget and the strategic plan.
ii. Gas and LNG marketing volumes and margins. The volumes used for cash flow forecasting purposes are estimated on the basis of the contracts in force at year‐end and activity estimates, all of which in keeping with the annual budget and strategic plan. Margins factor in historical data, the price forecasts detailed in the previous point and the outlook for margins going forward.
These estimated after‐tax cash flows are discounted to present value using CGU‐specific discount rates determined as a function of the currency in which their respective cash flows are denominated and the risks associated with these cash flows, including country risk. Repsol discounts projected cash flows using post‐tax weighted average costs of capital2 for each country and business. These rates are reviewed at least once a year. This rate endeavors to reflect the current market assessments regarding the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. Accordingly, the discount rate used takes into account the risk‐free rate, the country risk, the currency in which cash flows are generated and the market, credit and business risk. To ensure that the calculations are consistent, the cash flow projections do not factor in risks that have already been built into the discount rates used, and vice versa. The discount rates used factor in average sector leverage as a reasonable proxy for the optimal capital structure, to which end management monitors leverage rates at comparable oil and gas companies during the last five years. Furthermore, to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment losses on investments in associates and joint ventures, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets, including any goodwill that may be implicit within the investment, by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an investment in an associate or a joint venture is evaluated individually, unless it does not generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of those generated by other Group assets or cash‐generating units.
1 The use of the period of more than 5 years began in 2011 after the refinery expansion and improvement projects came into operation. To keep the amortization rate in step with the pace of investment, we extended the timeline of cash flow projection, so that, from the fifth year onwards, EBITDA is projected, continuing at a similar level of activity and in a similar business environment.

As a result of all of the foregoing, modifications to key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable value of the assets may have a significant effect on the Group's earnings (see Note 20.2). Business combinations
The Group's business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method (see Note 4) and require judgments and estimates when assigning their fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and assigning the purchase price to those fair values. In this regard, the process of valuing Viesgo's assets and liabilities should ne highlighted, and has required the use of significant judgments and estimates by the Group´s management team (see Note 4). Provisions for litigation, dismantling and other contingencies
The final cost of settling claims, grievances and lawsuits could vary due to estimates based on differing interpretations of the technical rules, opinions and final assessments of the amount of the damages. Repsol uses judgments and estimates to recognize provisions for the cost of dismantling its oil and gas production operations. These calculations are complex on account of the need to recognize the present value of the estimated future costs and to adjust this figure in subsequent years in order to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimates due to changes in the underlying assumptions on account of technological advances and regulatory changes, economic, political and environmental security factors, as well as changes in the initially‐established schedules or other terms. The dismantling provisions are updated regularly to reflect trends in estimated costs and the discount rates. These discount rates take into account the risk‐free rate, by term and currency, country risk and a spread according to debt structure and the cash flow projection period. Specifically, the weighted average rate set by the Group was 4.9% Additionally, Repsol makes judgments and estimates in recording costs and establishing provisions for environmental clean‐up and remediation costs which are based on current information regarding costs and expected plans for remediation. For environmental provisions, costs can differ from estimates because of changes in laws and regulations, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in clean‐up technology. Therefore, any change in the factors or circumstances related to provisions of this nature, as well as changes in laws and regulations could, as a consequence, have a significant effect on the provisions recognized for these costs (see Note 14). Evaluation of investments in Venezuela
Repsol has a presence in Venezuela through its shareholdings in mixed oil companies and gas licensees. The current situation of crisis in Venezuela and PDVSA generates uncertainty regarding business performance. To assess the recoverability of the investments in this country, which include both the investment in the share capital of the companies and the financing granted through loans, it is necessary to use certain hypotheses and assumptions, such as asset development plans, compliance with the agreements signed and the development of a climate which involves judgments and estimates that may vary from those previously made (see Notes 13 and 20).
Calculation of income tax, tax credits and deferred tax assets
The appropriate assessment of the income tax expense is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred tax assets and the timing of income tax payments. Actual collections and payments may differ materially from these estimates because of changes in tax laws as well as unanticipated future transactions affecting the Company's tax balances (see Note 23).

MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS (4) MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS Accounting policies: Business combinations
Business combinations in which the Group acquires control of one or more businesses through the merger or spin‐off of several companies or through the acquisition of all the assets and liabilities of a company or of a party constituting one or more businesses, are recognized using the acquisition method in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The acquisition method involves, except for the recognition and measurement exceptions set out in IFRS 3, the accounting at the acquisition date of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value at that date, provided that this value can be measured reliably. Within the liabilities assumed in the business combination, any identified contingent liabilities are also accounted for at the acquisition date, although these would not have been recognized in accordance with the general accounting criteria for provisions because the outflow of economic benefits is not probable, provided that it corresponds to a present obligation arising from past events and its fair value can be measured reliably. Acquisition‐related costs are recognized as expenses in the income statement. The difference between the cost of the business combination and the value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill if it is positive, or as income in the income statement if it is negative.
4.1) Acquisition of businesses from Viesgo On November 2, the non‐regulated low emission electricity production businesses, as well as their regulated and non‐regulated gas and electricity trading companies were acquired from Viesgo in the framework of the Strategic Plan. As regards to the generation business, the purchase encompasses hydroelectric power stations in the north of Spain and two combined cycle gas power stations in Algeciras (Cádiz) and Escatrón (Zaragoza), with Viesgo's operating coal power plants being excluded from the transaction. With regards to regulated and non‐regulated gas and electricity retail marketing, the operation implies the acquisition of nearly 750,000 customers that are distributed throughout the Spanish territory, mainly in Cantabria, Galicia, Andalucía, Asturias, Castilla y Leon and the Madrid Region. The acquisition price amounts to €732 million. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date for the integration of the businesses in the Group's financial statements, in accordance with accounting regulations (see Note 2 "Basis of presentation"). The fair value of electricity generation assets (property, plant and equipment) has been calculated using an "Income approach" (discount of cash flows based on variables not observable in the market1). The most sensitive assumptions incorporated in the asset cash flow projections are: i) electricity prices2, (ii) operating costs and (iii) discount rates.3 For the valuation of the customer portfolio (Intangible assets), a revenue approach was also followed, taking into account profitability and the estimated number of years of relationship with them. The difference between the acquisition price of the businesses acquired and the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized, including the deferred taxes arising from the differences between the new fair value of the assets acquired and their tax value, is allocated to goodwill (€49 million). The value of the goodwill is justified both by the valuation of the businesses acquired and by the synergies expected to materialize after the acquisition as a result of the integration of the generation and marketing businesses in the Repsol Group. Repsol has obtained an independent valuation report to review the allocation of the acquisition price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair value. The conclusions of this report have been considered in the valuation and do not differ significantly from those used by Repsol.

During the period and from the date of acquisition, the businesses acquired generated operating revenues of €274 million, with a net loss of ‐€31 million, mainly due to the measurement at market value of derivatives contracted during the year. Transaction expenses incurred in the period amount to €4 million, which are recognized under "Other Operating Expenses". 4.2) Sale of the stake in Gas Natural SDG, S.A. On May 18, 2018, Repsol, S.A. completed the sale of its stake in Naturgy Energy Group, S.A. (200,858,658 shares, representing 20.072% of the share capital) for the total price of €3,816,314,502, equivalent to €19 per share, pursuant to the provisions of the purchase agreement entered into with Rioja Bidco Shareholdings, S.L.U. on February 22, 2018. The gain generated by the sale amounted to €344 million net of taxes recognized under "Profit from discontinued operations" in the income statement (see Note 24), which also includes the income generated by this investment until February 22, 2018, amounting to €68 million. The income derived from the ownership interest in Naturgy in 2017 (€274 million), which were recognized under "Income Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method", were classified under the new heading and, therefore, the income statement for 2017 was restated for comparison purposes (see Note 1.4).
1 Business combinations for which the valuation process required to apply the acquisition method has not been completed on the year‐end closing
date are posted using provisional values. These values must be adjusted within a maximum of one year from the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and which, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. Such adjustments shall be recognized retrospectively so that the resulting values are those that would result from initially having had such information, adjusting, to the extent necessary, the comparative information presented in the financial statements for prior periods.

SEGMENT REPORTING
SEGMENT REPORTING (5) SEGMENT REPORTING 1 5.1) Definition of segments and presentation model of the results for the period by segments
The segment reporting disclosed by the Group in this section is presented in accordance with the disclosure requirements of IFRS 8 Operating segments. The definition of the Repsol Group´s business segments is based on the delimitation of the different activities performed and from which the Group earns revenue or incurs expenses, as well as on the organizational structure approved by the Board of Directors for business management. Using these segments as a reference point, Repsol’s management team (Executive Committees) analyzes the main operating and financial indicators in order to make decisions about segment resource allocation and to assess how the Company is performing. At December 31, 2018, the operating segments of the Group are:
- Upstream, corresponding to the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas reserves.
- Downstream, corresponding, mainly, to the following activities: (i) refining and petrochemistry, (ii) trading and transportation of crude oil and oil products, (iii) marketing of oil, petrochemical and LPG products, (iv) marketing, transport and regasification of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and (v) generation of electricity and the marketing of electricity and gas in Spain.
Lastly, Corporation and others includes activities not attributable to the aforementioned business segments, and specifically, corporate expenses, financial result and inter‐segment consolidation adjustments. The Group has not aggregated any operating segments for presentation purposes. In presenting the results of its operating segments Repsol includes the results of its joint ventures2 and other companies managed as such3 in accordance with the Group's stake, considering its operational and economic metrics in the same manner and with the same detail as for fully consolidated companies. Thus, the Group considers that the nature of its businesses and the way in which results are analyzed for decision‐making purposes is adequately reflected. In addition, the Group, considering its business reality and in order to make its disclosures more comparable with those in the sector, utilizes as a measure of segment profit the so‐called Adjusted Net Income, which corresponds to net income from continuing operations at replacement cost (“Current Cost of Supply” or CCS), net of taxes and non‐controlling interests, without including certain income and expenses (“Special Items”). Financial income is assigned to the adjusted net income of Corporation and others. The Current Cost of Supply (CCS) is commonly used in this industry to present the results of Downstream businesses which must work with huge inventories subject to continual price fluctuations is not an accepted European accounting regulation, yet does enable the comparability with other sector companies as well as monitoring businesses independently of the impact of price variations on their inventories. Under Income at CCS, the cost of volumes sold during the reporting period is calculated using the costs of procurement and production incurred during that same period Due to the above, adjusted net income does not include the so‐called Equity effect. This Inventory Effect is presented separately, net of tax and non‐controlling interests, and corresponds to the difference between Income at CCS and that arrived at using the Weighted Average Cost approach, which is the method used by the Group to determine its earnings in accordance with European accounting regulations. Furthermore, Adjusted Net Income does not include the so‐called Special Items, i.e. certain material items whose separate presentation is considered appropriate in order to facilitate analysis of the ordinary business performance. This heading includes gains/losses on divestments, staff restructuring charges, asset impairment gains/losses and

provisions for contingencies and other relevant income or expenses. These special items are presented separately, net of the tax effect and non‐controlling interests. Following the agreement reached on February 22, 2018 for the sale of the 20.072% stake in Naturgy Energy Group. S.A. (see Note 4.2), its income prior to said date has been classified as “Discontinued operations” under Special items (previously classified under “Corporate and other”), restating the comparative figures published in the consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year 2017. The way in which the results of exchange rate fluctuations on tax positions in currencies other than the functional currency are presented has changed during the period, and these changes are reflected in the Special Items to facilitate the monitoring of business results and align us with best practices in the industry. The comparative figures for the first half of 2017 have not been restated, given their immateriality. 5.2) Results for the period by segments

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
(6) CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Repsol, as an essential part of its strategy, has committed to a policy of financial prudence. The financial structure targeted is defined by this commitment of solvency and the aim to maximize shareholder returns, by optimizing the cost of capital.
The determination of the target financial structure takes into account the leverage ratio, defined as the relationship between net debt1 and capital used2 (both metrics calculated in accordance with the Group's Reporting Model described in Note 5). This ratio evolves and is analyzed on a continued basis, also making certain future estimates of them as a key limiting factor in the Group's investment strategy and dividend policy. The calculations of these ratios, based on the following balance sheet headings at December 31, 2018 and 2017, are as follows:
2018 2017

(1) Under the Spanish Companies Act, 10% of profit for each year of the parent company must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance
of this reserve reaches at least 20% of share capital. The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.
(2) "Other reserves" includes, in 2018, the impact of the standards of initial application (see Note 2.2.2).
1 The formula considers net and not gross debt to factor in the effect of financial investments. In keeping with its conservative financial policy, Repsol holds cash and cash equivalents and undrawn credit lines. As a result, the net debt leverage ratio provides a more accurate picture of the Group's financial solvency.

7.1) Share capital
The subscribed share capital at December 31, 2018 and 2017, registered within the Companies Register, consisted of 1,527,396,053 fully subscribed and paid up shares of €1 par value each, in book entry form, and all listed on the Spanish stock exchanges and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange1.The Company participates in an ADS (American Depositary Share) program in the United States, whose shares are traded on the OTCQX market.
Following the bonus share issue, concluded in January 2019, the share capital of Repsol, S.A. is currently represented by 1,558,877,582 shares, each with a par value of €1. Under accounting regulations, because the abovementioned capital increase had been registered within the Companies Register before the Board of Directors authorized the consolidated financial statements for issue, this bonus share issue has been recognized in the Group’s financial statements as of December 31, 2018.
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 11, 2018, the Company's stockholders approved two bonus share issues to execute the stockholder remuneration scheme known as “Repsol Flexible Dividend”, in substitution of what would have been the traditional final dividend from 2017 profits and the interim dividend from 2018 earnings, under which stockholders can instead choose between receiving their remuneration in cash (by selling their bonus share rights in the market or back to the Company) or in Company shares.
The first of these two bonus share issues took place between June and July 2018 and the second, between December 2018 and January 2019. The main characteristics of these issues are detailed below:
Holders who accepted the irrevocable purchase commitment (1) 13.26% rights 27.86% rights
Deadline for requesting sale of rights to Repsol at guaranteed price June 29 December 31
Fixed price guaranteed by right €0.485 gross/right €0.411 gross/right

(1) Repsol has renounced the bonus share rights acquired by virtue of the above‐mentioned purchase commitment and, by extension, the shares corresponding to those rights. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 recognizes the obligation to pay the shareholders that had accepted the irrevocable purchase commitment in the bonus issue completed in January 2019, corresponding to the sale or rights to Repsol for €175 million, as a reduction in equity under “Dividends and shareholders’ remunerations”.
On November 14, 2018, a capital reduction was made through the redemption of 68,777,683 own shares, of €1 par value each, approved by Repsol's General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 11, 2018. The capital reduction aims to offset the dilutive effect of the bonus share issues executed in 2018. The capital reduction was performed with a charge to unrestricted reserves, through the provision of a reserve for redeemed capital, for an amount equal to the par value of the redeemed shares. These shares were delisted from the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock markets.

1 Transactions carried out exercising the powers delegated by the Company's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of March 28, 2014 and May 11, 2018, authorizing the Board of Directors, for a five‐year period, to carry out the derivative acquisition of Repsol shares, directly or through subsidiaries, up to a maximum number of shares such that the sum of those acquired plus treasury shares already held by Repsol and any of its subsidiaries does not exceed 10% of the Company’s capital, insofar as the price or value of the consideration delivered is not less than the par value of the shares or more than their quoted price on the stock exchange. The current authorization (conferred by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 11, 2018) was granted for five years running from the date of the Annual General Meeting, and nullified the equivalent resolution ratified at the ordinary Annual General Meeting held on March 28, 2014, in relation to any part thereof that had not been used.

In addition, in January 2019, under the “Repsol Flexible Dividend” program, replacing what would have been the interim dividend from 2018 profits, Repsol paid out €175 million in cash (€0.411 per right before withholdings) to those shareholders opting to sell their bonus share rights back to the Company, and delivered 31,481,529 shares, worth €453 million, to those opting to take their dividend in the form of new shares from the Parent Company.
At the date of the authorization for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's Board of Directors is expected to submit a proposal to the next Ordinary General Shareholder's Meeting to continue the “Repsol Flexible Dividend”, program, through the implementation of a bonus share issue, on the same dates as those on which the company has traditionally paid the final dividend together with the corresponding share capital reduction through the amortization of own shares to offset the dilutive effect of these share capital increases. 7.4) Other equity instruments
On March 25, 2015, Repsol International Finance, B.V. (hereinafter, “RIF”) issued perpetual subordinated bonds guaranteed by Repsol, S.A., with a value of €1,000 million (redeemable at the request of the issuer from year six or under certain circumstances stipulated in the bond terms and conditions). This bond was placed with qualified investors and trades on the Luxembourg Stock Market, accruing a fixed annual coupon of 3.875% from the issuance date until March 25, 2021, which is payable to the bondholders annually from March 25, 2016 and a fixed annual coupon equal to the 6‐year swap rate applicable plus a spread from March 25, 2021. The issuer can defer the coupon payments without triggering an event of default. Coupons so deferred will be cumulative and will be mandatorily settled following certain events described in the related terms and conditions of the issue. This bond was recognized under “Other equity instruments”, included under equity in the balance sheet, considering that it does not meet the accounting conditions required to be treated as a financial liability1. The finance cost, net of taxes, associated with the coupon on the subordinated bond has been recognized under “Retained earnings and other reserves” amounting to ‐€29 million. 7.5) Non‐controlling interests
The equity attributable to non‐controlling interests at December 31, 2018 and 2017 relates basically to the following companies:

Level 1: Valuations based on a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument and relate mainly to derivatives held for trading and investments funds. Level 2: Valuations based on a quoted price in an active market for similar financial assets or based on other valuation techniques that rely on observable market inputs. Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are not directly observable in the market. (1) Does not include €117 Million in 2017 related to investments in shares of companies that are recognized at acquisition cost in accordance with
IAS 39.
The valuation techniques used for financial instruments classified under level 2, in accordance with accounting regulations, are based on the income approach, which entail the discounting to present value of future cash flows, either known or estimated, using discount curves from the market reference interest rates (in the case of derivative instruments, estimated using implicit forward curves offered in the market), including adjustments for credit risk based on the life of the instruments. In the case of options, price‐setting models based on the Black & Scholes formula are used.
The most significant variables for valuing financial instruments vary depending on the type of instrument, but fundamentally include: exchange rates (spot and forward), interest rate curves, counterparty risk curves, prices of equity securities and the volatilities of all the aforementioned factors. In all cases, market data is obtained from reputed information agencies or correspond to quotes issued by official bodies.

Accumulated amounts in equity are transferred to the income statement in periods in which the hedged items affect the income statement or, in the case of a hedge of a transaction that results in the recognition of a non‐financial asset or liability, are included in the cost of the asset or liability when the asset or liability is recognized in the balance sheet. Net investment hedges are accounted for in the same way as cash flow hedges, although changes in the valuation of these transactions are recognized in equity under "Translation differences" until the hedged foreign operation is disposed of, at which time they are transferred to the income statement.

Cash flow hedging reserve and translation reserve
The Group contracts derivatives to hedge exposure to changes in cash flows, most notably in 2018 and 2017:
‐ A cash flow hedge in dollars in the form of interest rate swaps associated with the facility funding the investment in the Canaport LNG project (Canada), written over a notional amount of €298 Million, maturing after 2019 and with a negative fair value of €57 Million at December 31, 2018.
‐ Cash flow hedges in the form of interest rate swaps arranged in 2014 for a notional amount of €1,500 Million
to hedge future bond issues in late 2014 and early 2015. Under these arrangements, the Group paid a weighted average interest rate of 1.762% and received 6‐month Euribor. The fair value recognized in equity pending to be recognized in results amounts to ‐€73 million after taxes at December 31, 2018 (‐€83 Million after taxes at December 31, 2017). The impact recognized on the income statement in 2018, before tax, amounted to €13 million (€12 million in 2017).
‐ The hedges arranged in 2018 over product prices to cover the variability of gas prices, maturing in less than one year and with a positive fair value of €10 Million.
In addition, the Group maintains instruments to hedge its exposure to variations in foreign exchange rates relating to the stake in the net assets of foreign operations. Of note are the financial instruments designated as net investment hedges with respect to certain dollar assets in the Upstream segment, the notional value of which at December 31 amounted to $3,108 million (€2,714 million).

Repsol has arranged a series of derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate and price risk of crude oil and oil products (including CO2) that are not recognized as accounting hedges under IAS 39. These derivatives include currency forward contracts which mature in less than a year, as part of the global strategy to manage the exposure to exchange‐rate risk. Additionally, for the coverage of the product risk that derives from future physical transactions such as the selling and/or purchase of oil and other petroleum products, the Group has entered into futures and swap contracts. The breakdown of these derivatives at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is provided below:

(10) FINANCIAL RISKS Group business is exposed to different kinds of financial risk, including: market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Repsol has a risk management structure and systems that enable it to identify, measure and control the risks to which the Group is exposed.
10.1) Market risk Market risk is the potential loss faced due to adverse movements in market variables. The Group is exposed to several types of market risks: exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and "commodities" risk.
The Company monitors exposure to market risk through ongoing sensitivity analysis. These strategies are complemented with other risk management measures when required by the nature of the risk exposure. For example, commodity risk, exchange rate and interest rate risk that affect the financial results are subject to maximum risk levels, measured in terms of Value at Risk (VaR), defined by the Corporate Executive Committee in line with the different authorization levels and supervised on a daily basis by a separate area to the area responsible for management. A sensitivity analysis of the main risks inherent in financial instruments is included for each of the market risks described below, showing how income and equity could be affected (under the "Other Comprehensive Income" heading). Sensitivity analysis uses changes in variables representative of their historical behavior. Estimates are based on both favorable and unfavorable scenarios. The impact on results and/or equity is estimated on the basis of the financial instruments held by the Group at year‐end. a) Exchange rate risk The Group’s profit and equity are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which it transacts, with the US dollar generating the greatest level of exposure. Exposure to exchange‐rate risk can be traced, on the one hand, to financial assets and investments and monetary flows and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group's parent company (in this connection, Repsol hedges assets in foreign currency, often regarding decisions to proceed with divestments or the sale of assets, which are normally designated as net investment hedges, structured through derivative instruments or loans in the corresponding currencies, primarily US dollars) and, on the other hand, exchange‐rate risk extends to Group companies whose assets, liabilities and monetary flows are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of said companies, with the following of particular importance in this connection: (i) cash flows from international trade operations involving crude oil, natural gas and refined products are carried out, generally speaking, in US dollars; and (ii) local operations carried out in the countries in which Repsol operates are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the corresponding local currencies compared to currencies in which commodities are traded. Repsol permanently monitors the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies in which it undertakes significant operations and actively manages exchange‐rate risk positions that affect the financial result of the income statement. To this end, it contracts derivative financial instruments that seek to provide a consolidated economic hedge of currencies for which there is a liquid market. Furthermore, cash flows are subject to accounting hedges with a view to protecting the economic value of the flows corresponding to investment and divestment operations, corporate operations or project execution or one‐off contracts for which the monetary flow is distributed over a period of time. For exchange rate derivatives, see Note 9.

Effect on profit after tax 5% (30)

Effect on equity 5% 17

b) Interest rate risk Fluctuations in interest rates can affect interest income and expense of financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates; which may also impact the fair value of financial assets and liabilities with a fixed interest rate. Furthermore, these variations can affect the carrying value of assets and liabilities due to variations in the discount rates of applicable cash flows, the profitability of investments and the future cost of raising financial resources. Repsol's debt is linked to the most competitive financial instruments at the time, both in terms of the capitals market and banking market and based on the market conditions considered most ideal accordingly. Furthermore, Repsol contracts interest rate derivatives to reduce the risk of variations in financial burdens and in the fair value of its debt, and to mitigate the interest‐rate risk on future fixed‐time debt issues, which are designated in general as hedging instruments (see Note 9). At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the net debt balance at fixed rates amounted to €7,183 Million and €8,094 Million respectively. This is equivalent to 116% and 108%, respectively, of total net debt including interest rate derivatives. The sensitivity of net income and equity, as a result of the effect of fluctuations in interest rates on the financial instruments held by the Group at December 31 is illustrated in the following table:

c) Commodity price risk As a result of its trade operations and activities, the Group’s results are exposed to volatility in the prices of oil, natural gas and their derivative products. Repsol enters into derivative transactions to mitigate its exposure to price risk. These derivatives provide an economic hedge of the Group’s results, although they are not always designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes (see Note 9). At December 31, 2018 an increase or decrease of 10% in the prices of crude oil, natural gas and derivative products would have approximately led to the following changes in net income as a result of their effect on the financial instruments held by the Group at that date.

10.2) Liquidity risk The liquidity policy applied by Repsol is structured around guaranteeing the availability of the necessary funds to ensure compliance with obligations assumed and the evolution of the Group's business plans, whilst retaining the ideal amount of liquid resources and seeking the highest level of efficiency in the management of financial resources at all times. In line with this prudent financial policy, Repsol maintains cash resources and other liquid financial instruments1 and undrawn credit lines sufficient to cover current debt maturities 2.0 times. Repsol controls and monitors its financial needs ranging from the production of daily cash flow forecasts to the financial planning involved in the annual budgets and its strategic plan; it maintains diversified and stable sources of financing that facilitate efficient access to financial markets, all within the framework of a financing structure that is compatible with the corresponding credit rating in the investment grade category. The Group had undrawn credit facilities amounting to €2,249 million and €2,503 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The tables below contain an analysis on the maturities of the financial liabilities existing at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

10.3) Credit risk1
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of a third party not complying with their payment obligations, thus creating credit losses. The Group specifically evaluates all available information consistent with internal credit risk management for each financial instrument, including those of a commercial nature.
The Group's exposure to credit risk, according to the type of financial instrument together with the impairment recognized at December 31, 2018 for each of them, is broken down as follows:
Credit risk (probability of
default)

Impairment at December 31, 2017 amounted to €1,714 million, relating to situations pending litigation and insolvency proceedings. In 2018, €405 million was provisioned, the majority of which relating to loans and credit lines to joint ventures in Venezuela (see Note 8 and 20.3).
(3) Includes assets impaired in Phase III of the debtor's credit risk statement; the impairment in Phase II is not material. Impaired amounts at December 31, 2018 mainly relate to receivables related to business in Venezuela.
(4) Includes assets impaired in Phase III of the debtor's credit risk statement; impairment in Phase II is not material. The impaired balance at December 31, 2017 amounted to €173 million.
Trade and other receivables The trade debts are shown on the balance sheet at December 31, 2018 and 2017 net of allowances for impairment provisions for an amount of €6,105 million and €5,912 million, respectively. The following table shows the age of trade receivables net of impairment provisions:

The Group’s credit risk on trade receivables is not significantly concentrated as it is spread out among a large number of customers and other counterparties. The maximum net exposure to a third party, including official bodies and public sector entities, does not exceed 2.6%. As a general rule, the Group establishes a bank guarantee issued by the financial entities as the most suitable instrument of protection from credit risk. In some cases, the Group has contracted insurance credit policies whereby this transfers partially to third parties the credit risk related to the business activity of some of their businesses. As part of its business activities, the Group has guarantees extended by third parties in an aggregate amount of €3,584million at December 31, 2018 and €3,402 million at December 31, 2017. Of this balance, the amount of trade
1 The credit risk information included in this section does not include the credit risk of investees or joint ventures, the impact of which is recognized under "Profit from Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method. Expected credit losses are an estimate, weighted by probability, of credit losses (i.e. the present value of all cash deficits) over the expected life of the financial instrument. A cash deficit is defined as the difference between the cash flows due to the entity under the contract and the cash flows it expects to receive. Because expected credit losses take into account both the amount and timing of payments, there is a credit loss if the entity expects to collect in full, but later than contractually agreed.

receivables secured by guarantees stood at €531 million and €537 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. EXPECTED LOSS:
The Group calculates the expected credit loss on its trade accounts receivable using its own risk assessment models for its customers, taking into account the probability of non‐payment, the balance at risk and the estimated LGD, taking into account all the information available for each customer. As a general criterion, the Group applies a threshold of more than 180 days in default for the consideration that objective evidence of default/deterioration has been incurred. These criteria are applied in the absence of other objective evidence of non‐compliance, such as bankruptcy situations, etc. In the remaining financial instruments, mainly certain loans and financial guarantees granted to joint ventures are individually monitored for the purposes of determining when, if any, there may have been a significant impairment in credit risk or default.
The expected loss on financial instruments is calculated based on the stage of the debtor's credit risk statement:
- Phase 1: At the time of initial recognition, the expected credit loss is calculated with the probability of default in the first 12
months. In the case of trade receivables, the calculation is spread over the life of the instrument, in accordance with the
accounting standard.
- Phase 2: When the instrument undergoes a significant increase in risk, the expected loss is calculated with the probability of
default for the entire life of the instrument.
- Phase 3: When the instrument is already impaired, the expected loss for the entire life of the instrument is calculated and, in
the event that interest accrues, it is calculated on the net balance of the provision for credit losses.
The assessment of the impairment of the value of the financial assets, to which the expected credit loss model is applicable, is calculated according to the following formula:
Expected credit loss = Probability of default x Exposure x Severity
‐ Probability of default: is calculated individually for each trade debtor according to the solvency models approved by the Repsol Group, except for individuals, for whom an average default rate is used. The models take into account quantitative information (economic‐financial variables of the customer, external and internal payment behavior, etc.), qualitative information (sector of activity, macroeconomic data on the country, etc.) and market sensitivity variables (e.g. price evolution). An internal rating and an associated probability of default are obtained for each debtor, according to the models. The probability of default determined according to the Group's internal rating model can be grouped into three categories: (i) less than 2% probability of default, (ii) greater than 2% and less than 8% probability, and (iii), greater than 8% probability.
‐ Exposure: this is calculated taking into account the total amount of outstanding credit and a potential future exposure according to the available risk limit.
‐ Severity: reflects the percentage of unrecovered exposure in the event of default, also taking into account whether or not such exposure is guaranteed, and is based on the historical behavior of customers.
With respect to financial instruments relating to operations in Venezuela, the expected loss estimation model has been carried out by estimating the cash flow scenarios foreseen for the business, weighted by their estimated probability. Since the financial assets are impaired (phase 3 of the credit risk statement), to quantify the loss three severity scenarios (moderate, significant and severe) are applied with different assumptions and economic impacts on the estimated cash flows. The probability of occurrence of these scenarios is weighted according to the historical information of sovereign defaults (Report Moody´s: "Sovereign Default and recovery rates 1983‐2017") and the Management's expectations. The estimation of the cash flow scenarios is consistent with those used for the purpose of calculating the impairment of property, plant and equipment. The assessment of credit risk impairment in Venezuela required estimates of the implications and evolution of a highly uncertain environment, which made it advisable to have an independent expert to validate Management's judgments.

Goodwill
The breakdown of goodwill, by segment and company, at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
Goodwill 2018 2017
Upstream (1):
Repsol Oil & Gas Canada, Inc. 2,441 2,333
Other companies 89 14
Downstream (2):
Repsol Portuguesa, S.A. 154 154
Repsol Gas Portugal, S.A. 106 106
Repsol Comercial de Productos Petrolíferos, S.A. 104 104
Viesgo Generación, S.L. 49 ‐
Other companies 68 52
TOTAL (3) 3,011 2,763
€ Million
(1) Almost the entirety of this item reflects the goodwill arising from the acquisition of ROGCI in 2015 and allocated for the purpose of evaluating its recoverability in the Upstream segment.
(2) Corresponds to 11 CGU being the most significant individual amount not exceeding to 27% of the total of segment. Of the total, €443 million and €389 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, correspond to companies whose main activities are undertaken in Europe.
(3) Includes €191 million and €184 million of impairment losses in 2018 and 2017 respectively.
For CGUs with goodwill and/or assets with indefinite useful lives allocated, the Group performs sensitivity analysis in order to quantify if changes in the recoverable amounts, calculated according to the method described in Note 3, of these CGUs would have a significant impact in the financial statements. Specifically, in performing the most significant sensitivity analysis, the following inputs have been taken into consideration. Sensitivity analysis
Decrease in the price of hydrocarbons (Brent and HH) 10%
Decrease in sales volume 5%
Increase in operating and investment costs 5%
Decrease in the unit contribution margin 5%
Increases in the discount rate 100 b.p.
Repsol considers, based on its current knowledge, that the reasonably predictable changes in the key inputs for determining the fair value of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated would not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements at December 31, 2018 as a result of the recoverable value of its goodwill.

Provisions for risks and current/non‐current expenses
(1) Includes €186 million and €155 million reflecting the discounting to present value of provisions in 2018 and 2017. In 2018, a change in the discount rate of +/‐50bp would have the effect of decreasing/increasing provisions for dismantling costs by ‐€98 million and €110 million, respectively. In 2018 the endowments of a fiscal nature and in “Other provisions” associated to consumption of CO2 allowances are worthy of note (See Note 31).
(2) In 2018 it includes mainly the reversals of provisions of a fiscal nature, among others those of Ecuador, after the end of the existing disputes in fiscal matters (see Note 23). In 2017 it included the reversal of the provision for Ship or Pay in Ecuador.
(3) In 2018 it mainly includes, the payment derived from the transactional agreement that has put an end to the “Galley” pipeline lawsuit (see section 2 of this Note) and in “Other provisions” for the payments that cancel the provisions for workforce restructuring. In 2017, this heading mainly reflects, under “Onerous contracts” payments for drilling platform leases and other long‐term onerous contracts, and, under “Other provisions”, personnel restructuring payments.
(4) See section 14.2 and Note 23. (5) In 2018 “Other provisions” includes the update of the negative value of the investment in Petroquiriquire (see Note 13) and in 2017 included the
reversal by €911 million under the heading “Investments accounted for using the equity method” (see Note 13) of the provision for obligations associated with the net disbursements foreseen in the stake in RSRUK for the operational improvements and efficiencies obtained in the operation of this asset since its acquisition in 2015.
The item “Other provisions” includes mainly the provisions recognized to cover obligations deriving from environmental risks (see Note 31), pension commitments (see Note 29), consumption of CO2 allowances (Note 31), employee incentive schemes (Notes 29), provisions for workforce restructuring1 and other provisions to cover obligations arising from the Group's interests in companies.

(1) Due to the nature of the risks provisioned, these timing assessments are subject to uncertainty and changes that are beyond the Group’s control.
As a result, this schedule could change in the future according to the circumstances underpinning the estimates.
1 In 2017 it includes a provision for workforce restructuring calculated under the conditions agreed in the framework of the Collective Dismissal in
Spain for the amount of €111 million, for the current value of the estimated future disbursements to be made to the Public Treasury. In 2017, payments under this item amounted to €55 Million. As recorded in the minutes of proceedings of the Oversight Committee for the Seventh Framework Agreement signed on June 8, 2016 between union representatives and Repsol's management, it was decided that the most suitable mechanism to implement the workforce downsizing in Spain was to set in motion a collective dismissal process.

14.2) Disputes The Group’s general criterion is to recognize provisions for proceedings that it deems it is likely to lose and does not recognize provisions when the risk of losing the case is considered possible or remote. The amounts to be provisioned are calculated on the basis of the best estimate of the amount needed to settle the lawsuit in question, underpinned, among others, by a case‐by‐case analysis of the facts, the legal opinions of its in‐house and external advisors and prior experience in these matters. As of December 31, 2018, Repsol's consolidated balance sheet includes provisions for proceedings in the ordinary course of its activities totaling €106 Million (€98 Million as of December 31, 2017). The most significant legal or arbitration proceedings and their status on the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were drawn up are summarized below. United Kingdom Addax arbitration in relation to the purchase of Talisman Energy (UK) Limited (TSEUK) On July 13, 2015, Addax Petroleum UK Limited (“Addax”) and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (“Sinopec”) filed a “Notice of Arbitration” against Talisman Energy Inc. (now known as “ROGCI”) and Talisman Colombia Holdco Limited (“TCHL”) in connection with the purchase of 49% of the shares in TSEUK (now known as “RSRUK”, see Note 13). ROGCI and TCHL filed their response to the Notice of Arbitration on October 1. On May 25, 2016, Addax and Sinopec filed the Statement of Claim, in which they seek, in the event that their claims were confirmed in their entirety, repayment of their initial investment in RSRUK, which was executed in 2012 through the purchase of 49% of RSRUK from TCHL, a wholly‐owned subsidiary of ROGCI, together with any additional investment, past or future, in such company, and further for any loss of opportunity, and which they estimate in a total approximate amount of $5,500 million. The Court of Arbitration has decided, among other procedural matters, to split the proceedings into two phases. The oral hearing on liability issues took place between January 29 and February 22, 2018 and between June 18 and 29, 2018, the latter being limited to the questioning of the experts of each party. The hearing on the oral findings was held from July 9 to 11, 2018 and the written findings were presented on September 29. The procedure is now ready for the Court to issue its ruling. Repsol maintains its opinion that the claims included in the Statement of Claim are without merit. “Galley” pipeline lawsuit In August 2012 there was damage and a leak in the Galley pipeline, in which RSRUK at that time had a 67.41% stake. In September 2012, RSRUK filed a claim seeking coverage of the damages and losses sustained as a result of the incident from the insurance company Oleum Insurance Company (''Oleum''), a wholly‐owned subsidiary of ROGCI, which in turn owns 51% of RSRUK. In July 2014, RSRUK presented Oleum with a $351 Million claim for property damage and business disruption.
On August 8, 2016, RSRUK filed a request for arbitration in London, and in June 2017 the Court split the proceeding into in two stages (liability and, as appropriate, quantum). By decision dated May 10, 2018, the Court concluded that the policy did not exclude coverage for material damage arising from the incident. In September 2018, the claimant revised the amount claimed to $311 Million. On November 8, 2018, the parties signed a settlement agreement which put an end to the dispute and under which Oleum paid RSRUK $125 Million, with no significant impact on the Group's results as this litigation had been previously provisioned. United States of America The Passaic River / Newark Bay lawsuit The events underlying this litigation related to the sale by Maxus Energy Corporation (“Maxus”) of its former chemicals subsidiary, Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company (“Chemicals”) to Occidental Chemical Corporation (“OCC”). Maxus agreed to indemnify Occidental for certain environmental contingencies relating to the business and activities of Chemicals prior to September 4, 1986. After that (1995), Maxus was acquired by YPF S.A. ("YPF") and subsequently (in 1999) Repsol S.A. acquired YPF.

In December 2005, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) and the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund (together, the “State of New Jersey”) sued Repsol YPF S.A. (today called Repsol, S.A., hereinafter, “Repsol”), YPF, YPF Holdings Inc. (“YPFH”), CLH Holdings (“CLHH”), Tierra Solutions, Inc. (“Tierra”), Maxus and OCC for the alleged contamination caused by the former Chemicals old plant which allegedly contaminated the Passaic River, Newark Bay and other bodies of water and properties in the vicinity. On September 26, 2012 OCC lodged a Second Amended Cross Claim (the "Cross Claim") against Repsol, YPF, Maxus, Tierra and CLHH (all of which together “the Defendants”). Between June 2013 and August 2014, the Defendants signed different agreements with the State of New Jersey, in which they do not acknowledge liability and through certain payments in exchange for the withdrawal by the State of New Jersey of its proceedings against them. On April 5, 2016 the Presiding Judge decided to dismiss OCC’s suit against Repsol in full. The decision can be appealed. On June 16, 2016, the Special Master allowed the Motion for Summary Judgment presented by Repsol with regard to its claim against OCC for the $65 million paid as part of the settlement reached with the State of New Jersey. On January 30, 2017, OCC appealed the Special Master’s recommendation. On June 17, 2016, Maxus filed for bankruptcy protection before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, also seeking release from its main litigation liability, a petition the Court must rule on. On October 19, 2017, the presiding Judge decided to uphold all of the recommendations issued by the Special Master, thereby upholding the Motion for Summary Judgment presented by Repsol in full with regard to its claim against OCC for the $65 million. On November 22, 2017, OCC was formally condemned to pay the $65 million plus interest and expenses. On September 14, 2018, Maxus (assuming right of ownership of the claim on behalf of OCC) and OCC formalized an appeal against these rulings. On June 14, 2018, the Maxus Bankruptcy Administration filed a lawsuit ("New Claim") in the Federal Bankruptcy Court of the State of Delaware against YPF, Repsol and certain subsidiaries of both companies for the same claims as those contained in the Cross Claim. On October 19, 2018, Repsol filed the Motion to Dismiss. On February 15, 2019, the Federal Bankruptcy Court rejected the Motion to Dismiss. Repsol maintains the view, as has been shown in the Cross Claim, that the claims made in the New Claim are unfounded.

(1) Includes CO2 allowances or a total of 2,704 thousand tons valued at €79 million. (2) Includes provisions for inventory impairment losses of €74 million and €32 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The impairment
provisions recognized and reversed amounted to €‐55 million and €13 million, respectively (‐€10 million recognized and €6 million reversed in 2017).
At December 31, 2018, the balance of commodity inventories, related to trading activity, at fair value less costs to sell amounted to €342 million, and the effect of their measurement at market value represented income of €7 million. Recoverable amounts are calculated using market information and benchmarks. Specifically, forward price/benchmark price curves provided by the market as well as a benchmark time horizon for pricing purposes. The main variables used are: prices taken from official publications (Platt’s, Argus, OPIS, the brokerage community…) and historic or mark‐to‐market premiums, if available. In the assessment of refinery products, production costs are allocated in proportion to the selling price of the related products (iso margin method) due to the existing difficulty to recognize the conversion costs of every product. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Repsol Group complies with the legal requirements regarding minimum safety stocks established under prevailing legislation (see Appendix III) through its Spanish Group companies.

(1) The distribution by geography has been drawn up depending on the markets to which the sales or income are destined. (2) The distribution of the target markets are: i) E.U. euro zone: €33,514 million (€29,351 million in 2017), (ii) EU non‐euro zone: €1,066 million
(€4,660 million in 2017), and (iii) Other countries: €15,293 million (€7,657 million in 2017).
In 2018, ordinary income from Upstream activities amounted to €5,182 million, while that of the Downstream segment totaled €46,712 million (€4,093 million and €39,211 million, respectively, in 2017).2 In Upstream, income was generated, either from the sale of crude oil, condensed oil and LPG and natural gas, or from the provision of a service for the operation of resources, depending on the contracts in force in each of the countries in which the Group operates. In Downstream, income is generated mainly from the marketing of oil products (petrol, fuel oil, LPG, asphalt, lubricants, etc.), petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene, polyolefins and interim products), gas (natural gas and LNG) and electricity. This heading includes excise tax and similar taxes levied on the production and/or sale of oil and gas products amounting to €6,295 million in 2018 and €6,310 million in 2017. In sales in which the Group acts as an agent, the Group does not recognize all the income and expenses associated with the transaction, recognizing as revenue only the margin received or pending to receive. 19.2) Income from reversal of impairment provisions and on disposal of assets These headings include the following items:
2018 2017
Income from reversal of impairment provisions (Note 14 and 20) 175 802
Earnings arising from the disposal of assets 102 62
TOTAL 277 864
€ Million
19.3) Other operating income This item reflects, inter alia, income recognized on the remeasurement of trade derivatives (see Note 9) and the reversal of provisions, taken to the income statement (see Note 14). This also includes grants released to income for the amount of €20 million and €23 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
1) Income is recognized based on compliance with performance obligations to customers. Income from ordinary activities represents the transfer of committed goods or services to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to a right to exchange those goods and services. Five steps are differentiated in income recognition: i) Identify the customer's contract(s), ii) Identify performance obligations, iii) Determine the transaction price, iv) Assign the transaction price to the different performance obligations and v) Income recognition according to the fulfillment of each obligation.

(1) Discount rates in US dollars. (2) Discount rates in euros and US dollars.
In 2018, provisions have been recognized, net of reversals, for the impairment of value of assets amounting to ‐€827 million2 (‐€296 million in 20173), which correspond mainly to (i) intangible assets (‐€96 million, see Note 11); (ii) items of property, plant and equipment and provisions for onerous contracts (‐€490 million, see Notes 12 and 14), and (iii) impairment losses on investments accounted for using the equity method (‐€241 million, see Note 13). Upstream Assets The Group has written its Upstream assets down for net impairment by €793 million. These charges mainly affect:
‐ North America (‐€479 million): Impairment of value in North American assets mainly as a result of lower volumes due to lower activity and lower expected gas prices.
‐ Latin America (‐€146 million): impairment losses on Venezuelan assets (‐€205 million) due to the increase in risk and the discount rate (37.6% versus 30% in 2017), and the review of the business plans for the assets; partially offset by the reversal of impairment losses on Colombian assets (€107 million) due to the improvement in volumes and the favorable evolution of the business plans.
‐ Asia and Russia (‐€128 million): mainly impairment of assets in South East Asia (‐€82 million) due to delays in exploratory block development projects.
The recoverable value of the above assets came to €11,476 million. In 2017, net impairment losses of ‐€293 million were recorded, mainly in North America +€127 million (due to the increase in expected production volumes in Canada and the US, and Latin America ‐€297 Million (due to the increase in discount rates in Venezuela as a result of the evolution of country risk indicators). Downstream Assets Despite the increase in the assumptions for raw material prices, energy and CO2 allowances, no significant impairment has been recorded in the segment in 2018, just as in 2017.
1 The main components of the discount rate are as follows: ‐ The risk‐free interest rate for dollar flows matches that for 10‐year U.S. Treasuries; for euro flows, the risk‐free interest rate matches the 10‐year German sovereign bond;
‐ The country risk uses i) the spread between the sovereign bonds in euros or U.S. dollars and the debt issued by Germany (euros) and the U.S. (U.S. dollars), respectively, ii) the EMBI (Emerging Markets Bond Index) published by JP Morgan and iii) the country risk information published by three external providers (Country Risk Rating (IHS Global Insight), International Country Risk Guide (PRS Group) and Business Monitor (Fitch Group), all adjusted by specific business risks;
‐ A different credit risk premium is used depending on the currency (EUR and USD); and ‐ With respect to βetas or business risk premiums, they are calculated specifically from 5‐year historical series of comparable companies, for the Upstream, Refining and Marketing, Chemical, LPG and Gas & Power businesses.
In 2018, in comparison to 2017, there were no material changes in country risk year‐on‐year or in inherent business risk, except in the case of Venezuela.
2 In addition, "Provisions for Impairment and Disposal of Assets" includes provisions for bonds, G&G and exploratory surveys amounting to €164 million in 2018 (€167 million in 2017), associated with contracts for which no technically or economically viable project exists at this date.
3 In 2017 it corresponds mainly to intangible fixed assets (‐ €73 million), property, plant and equipment and provision for onerous contracts (+ € 134 million) and investments accounted for using the equity method (‐ €357 million).

20.3) Geopolitical risks1 Repsol is exposed to risks arising in countries that may present specific economic, social and political circumstances that may have a negative impact on its businesses (unexpected regulatory changes; highly volatile exchange rate; high inflation; possibility of economic and financial crises or political instability or social tensions and public unrest, etc.). According to the ratings in the Country Risk Rating of IHS Global Insight and the Country Risk Score of the Economist Group, the Repsol Group is exposed to a particular geopolitical risk in Venezuela, Libya and Algeria. On the other hand, in 2018, Vietnam has been added because the activities have been affected by the territorial conflict in the South China Seas. Venezuela
Repsol's total equity exposure2 to Venezuela at December 31, 2018 amounts to approximately €456 million and mainly comprises the financing extended to the Venezuelan subsidiary companies3,4 (see Note 8). Exposure was significantly lower than at December 31, 2017 (€1,480 million), due to the write‐downs recognized during 2018 on the assets held by the Repsol Group in the country. Repsol has had a presence in Venezuela since 1993 and currently has a presence in the country through its stake in the following companies: (i) Mixed crude oil companies (E.M.): 40% in E.M. Petroquiriquire, S.A. (Quiriquire, Menegrande, Barúa Motatán blocks, all until 2031) and 11% in E.M. Petrocarabobo, S.A. Carabobo block, until 20355) and (ii) gas licensee companies: 60% in Quiriquire Gas (until 2027) and 50% in Cardón IV, S.A. (until 2036). All these investments are accounted for using the equity method (see Note 13), the US dollar being the functional currency, except in the case of Quiriquire Gas, where the bolivar is the reference currency for its operating income and expenses.6 In 2018, Repsol's average production in Venezuela reached 62 thousand barrels of oil equivalent/day and its proved reserves at December 31, amounted to 514 million barrels of oil equivalent.
1 When assessing its assets for the impairment test, Repsol considers the geopolitical risks it is exposed to by estimating cash flows or calculating its discount rates.
2 Equity exposure relates to net consolidated assets exposed to own risks of the countries reported. 3 Repsol holds a loan with Cardón IV, which matures annually and that can be extended by the shareholders (Repsol and Eni), which has therefore been considered as part of the net investment of this company.
4 In October 2016 Petroquiriquire, S.A., Repsol and PDVSA signed a range of agreements to shore up the financial structure of the mixed‐ownership company and enable it to implement its Business Plan. The agreements involved (i) provision by Repsol of a credit facility for up to $1,200 million, backed by a guarantee given by PDVSA, to be used to pay past dividends owed to Repsol and for Petroquiriquire’s capital and operating expenditures; and (ii) a commitment given by PDVSA to pay for oil & gas production of the mixed‐ownership company via transfer to Petroquiriquire, S.A. of payments arising from crude oil sale contracts to offtakers or through outright cash payments in an amount sufficient for the mixed‐ownership to meet its capital and operating expenditures to the extent not covered by the financing from Repsol, and to pay Repsol's dividends generated in each financial year and its debt service obligations with Repsol. The financing granted by Repsol and the commitments assumed by PDVSA are governed by the Laws of the State of New York, and any disputes that should arise shall be submitted to arbitration in Paris in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. Drawdowns under the credit facility are subject to compliance by Petroquiriquire and PDVSA of certain conditions precedent, and the terms and conditions include the covenants, breach clauses and acceleration or early termination clauses that are customary in such transactions. Breach by PDVSA of its obligations under the guarantee, if there is a default by Petroquiriquire, could enable PDVSA’s creditors and bondholders to declare default and acceleration of the rest of its financial debt. In addition, the agreement includes other elements such as a mechanism for offsetting of reciprocal debts between Petroquiriquire, S.A. and PDVSA. At December 31, 2018, drawdowns for this credit facility amounted to $800 million.
5 Renewable for an additional 15 years. 6 The investment in Quiriquire Gas is nil, so any effect derived from the translation from Bolivar to euro is not significant.

The oil and gas industry is very important to the Venezuelan economy, accounting for 25% of GDP and 95% of exports.1 Operations in this sector in Venezuela are carried out in a framework of collaboration between the public sector and foreign companies. Venezuela has a regulated currency exchange system, an economy in recession with high levels of inflation, which has undergone strong devaluations during the last few years, and an oil sector with a high degree of public sector intervention and participation. ‐ Political and economic situation: the State of Economic Emergency has been extended during the period and the situation of political instability and economic recession continues (GDP2 has dropped by 18% in 2018), together with inflation3 (1,698,488%4 in 2018 and 10,000,000% is anticipated for 20192). Oil production has significantly decreased in recent years. In December 2017, as a result of the country's failure to pay interest on certain bonds, Standard & Poors placed the Venezuelan and PDVSA bonds in Selective Default, a rating also granted by the other agencies throughout 2018. On the other hand, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) declared in November 2017 that Venezuela was in default, making it possible to file for payment of credit default swaps (CDS). The Government of Venezuela has stated its intention to refinance and restructure Venezuela's foreign debt in order to honor its payment obligations to creditors. Venezuela's main source of external financing throughout 2018 has been through bilateral agreements with third countries. Certain Venezuelan government officials have been subject to international sanctions by the U.S., the European Union and Canada, which include freezing their assets as well as travel restrictions. In addition, the U.S. and Canada have issued financial sanctions against the Government of Venezuela, which may affect the financial and commercial capabilities of the public sector. On January 28, 2019, the U.S. extended sanctions against PDVSA, prohibiting "US Persons" from operating with PDVSA and/or any of its controlled companies (≥ 50%) and ordering them to block those assets of PDVSA or its controlled companies that come into their hands and/or are in U.S. territory. Although the US has granted certain time limits to facilitate the orderly termination of operations through the granting of several general licenses, these new measures have aggravated the situation of instability. Presidential elections were held in May 2018, in which Nicolás Maduro was re‐elected for the period 2019‐2025, which began on January 10, 2019. On January 23, 2019, the president of the National Assembly Juan Guaidó, was sworn in as interim president of Venezuela.
‐ Public regulation and stake in the oil & gas sector: Repsol operates through mixed‐ownership companies, whose incorporation and conditions for carrying out primary activities needed to first be approved by the National Assembly. As for the other companies, such as Cardón IV and Quiriquire Gas, their Licenses are granted by the Ministry of Popular Power over Oil and Mining. See Appendix III for more information on the legal framework for mixed‐ownership companies and the regulatory framework in force in Venezuela.
‐ Monetary system: during 2018, economic measures have been adopted that modify the exchange rate regime (see Annex III), including: (a) monetary reconversion (the new currency, called "bolívares soberanos", is equivalent to 100,000 of the previous "bolívares fuertes"); (b) partial liberalization of the exchange system to make the purchase and sale of currencies more flexible; and (c) launch of the "Petro" cryptocurrency, which is expected to function as an exchange currency and convertible currency.5 Despite these measures, during 2018 there was a very significant devaluation of the Venezuelan currency against the US dollar (2,182,304%)6. All these changes have not had a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
‐ Tax regime: On January 7, 2019, Presidential Decree No. 35 was published, establishing that taxpayers who carry out operations in foreign currency must determine and pay their taxes in foreign currency (or cryptocurrency), pending regulatory development. The regulation enters into force on January 1, 2019 and would affect the determination and payment of all national taxes. The main impact in 2018 is the cancellation of deferred tax assets in companies

accounted for using the equity method. Thereafter, the Decree could simplify the determination of income tax and eliminate the negative impact arising from future devaluations in this tax.
The Group has evaluated the recoverability of its investments, as well as the credit risk on PDVSA's accounts receivable. As a result, the Group or its investees recognized provisions for reversible risks or impairment of ‐€1,159 million. Of this amount, €316 million has been recorded in reserves as a result of the provision for credit risk arising from the first application of IFRS 9 (see Note 2.2.2). In addition, ‐€843 million were recorded in the income statement as the result of mainly:
‐ The evolution of the situation of the oil sector in Venezuela, the increase in the discount rate (37.6%; compared to 30% in 2017) and the changes in the operating plans of the assets, recognized over the productive assets of the entities in Venezuela (‐€205 million) 1. ‐ The delay in the collection of sales and the increase in credit risk, affecting the value of financing instruments and accounts receivable from PDVSA (‐€630 million) 2.
In 2017, impairment losses amounting to ‐€716 million were recorded. Libya Repsol's equity exposure in Libya as of December 31, 2018 amounts to about €348 million, (including primarily property, plant and equipment at that date). Repsol operates in Libya since the 1970s when it started exploring in the Sirte Basin. As of December 31, 2018, Repsol has acreage on two contractual areas (with exploration, development and production activities) and proved reserves amount to 84 million barrels of oil equivalent. As a consequence of the security conditions, during 2018 there have been intermittent shutdowns of our production in Libya, the most relevant being that produced during the month of December. Repsol's net crude oil production in 2018 amounted to 35.7 thousand barrels of oil per day (vs. 25.4 thousand barrels of oil per day during the same period in 2017). Uncertainty about Libya's political future and the diminished security situation continue to affect the prospects of its oil industry. Currently, the country has recovered oil production and exports, but the proliferation of armed militias and the rivalry between the main actors in the Libyan political dialogue could lead to new confrontations and blockades of oilfields and export terminals. Algeria Equity exposure amounts to about €837 million, (including primarily property, plant and equipment at that date). Repsol has an exploration block in Algeria (S.E. Illizi) and 3 production/development blocks (Reggane Nord, Block 405a (with the MLN, EMK and Ourhoud licences) and Tin Fouyé Tabankort (TFT)). In 2018, net average production in Algeria came to 21.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent/day (12.2 kboe in 2017) from blocks Reggane Nord, 405 a and Tin Fouyé Tabankort (TFT). As of December 31, 2018, net proved reserves amount to 45.4 million barrels of oil equivalent. Around 34% of the net proved reserves refer to the gas production project in Reggane, which includes six fields (Reggane, Kahlouche, Kahlouche Sud, Sali, Tiouliline and Azrafil Sudest), located in the Algerian Sahara in the Reggane basin. Repsol holds a 29.25% stake in the consortium that is to develop the project, alongside the Algerian state‐owned company Sonatrach (40%), Germany’s RWE Dea AG (19.5%), and Italy’s Edison (11.25%). The production of the Reggane project in 2018 amounted to 7.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. There are still certain security risks due to the activity of Islamist groups in the south of the country, although they have

been gradually reduced due to the presence of security forces. Vietnam Repsol owns mining rights in Vietnam on thirteen blocks, distributed in six production‐sharing contracts (PSC): one in production over a net area of 152 km2, (Thang Long JOC), one under development over 1,236 km2 (Ca Rong Do) and four in exploration, over a net surface area of 72,248 km2 (among them Blocks 135‐136/03). Net average production in 2018 came to 6,500 barrels of oil equivalent/day (5,200 barrels of oil equivalent/day in the first nine months of 2017). As of December 31, 2018, net proved reserves amount to 26.4 million barrels of oil equivalent. The carrying amount of assets at December 31, 2018 came to €990 million and there are additional commitments relating to the investment in these areas. Over this period, Repsol has received instructions from PetroVietnam to refrain from performing the programmed activities as part of the Ca Rong Do development project in Block 07/03, located in the South China Sea. On the other hand, in July 2017, the PetroVietnam instructed Repsol to stop CKN‐1X drilling activities in exploratory blocks 135‐136/03, also located in the South China Sea. The scope of the suspension of activities has yet to be determined and the Group is working with PetroVietnam to find frameworks for action that satisfy the interests of both parties and to reach an amicable solution to this conflict. In any case, Repsol believes that it has a solid legal basis to claim compensation for the damages that may arise from these circumstances, in addition to strong perspectives of success, both in the claim and the recovery of damages. BREXIT In the referendum held on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom supported its exit from the European Union. After the United Kingdom Parliament rejected the ratification of the exit agreement reached between its government and that of the European Union on January 15, 2019, both are currently immersed in a new negotiating process for the terms of this exit. The consequences derived from this, for any resulting scenario, are still uncertain both in the transition period and in the final exit, affecting, among other factors, the value of the pound against the euro and against the dollar, access to the European Single Market, both for the circulation of people and goods, as well as services and capital, or the valuation of investments made in the country. However, as to the extraction, transportation and marketing of oil and gas, no material change is expected, because the UK Government has maintained sovereignty and control over key aspects with an industry‐wide impact, such as the licensing process of acreage and the tax framework within which oil companies do business in the country. In this sense, messages passed on to the sector from the beginning of the process include a commitment to regulatory stability. The Group's exposure is limited to its stake in Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Limited (RSRUK), which operates a mature business and whose functional currency is the dollar. For more information, see Note 13.

(23) TAXES 23.1) Income tax In the area of taxation and, particularly, of profits taxation, Repsol Group is subject to the legislation of several tax jurisdictions due to the broad geographic mix and the relevant international nature of the business activities carried out by the Group companies it comprises. For this reason, the Repsol Group's effective tax rate is shaped by the breakdown of earnings obtained in each of the countries where it operates and, on occasion, by the taxation of said profits in more than one country (double taxation). a) In Spain
Most of the entities resident in Spain for tax purposes are subject to taxation in Spain under Spain’s consolidated tax regime. Under this regime, the companies comprising the tax group jointly determine the Group’s taxable profit and tax liability, which is then allocated to these companies following the criteria established by the ICAC (acronym in Spanish for the Audit and Accounting Institute) in relation to the recognition and determination of individual corporate tax liabilities. Repsol, S.A. is the parent of Consolidated Tax Group 6/80, which comprises all of the companies resident in Spain that are at least 75%‐owned, directly or indirectly, by the parent and that meet certain prerequisites. 56 companies make up the aforementioned Consolidated Tax Group in 2018, the most significant of which are: Repsol, S.A. itself, Repsol Petróleo, S.A., Repsol Trading, S.A., Repsol Química, S.A., Repsol Butano, S.A., Repsol Exploración, S.A. and Repsol Comercial de Productos Petrolíferos, S.A. Following the acquisition of the non‐regulated businesses of Viesgo and Valdesolar Hive, S.L., 4 new companies are incorporated to the Repsol Group, which will be included in the Tax Group with effect from 1 January 2019. Elsewhere, Petróleos del Norte, S.A. (Petronor) is the parent of Consolidated Tax Group 02/01/B, to which the special regional tax regulations of Vizcaya for corporate income tax purposes is applied. Finally, the rest of the companies resident in Spain for tax purposes that are not included in either of the above tax groups determine their income tax individually. The Spanish companies are taxed at the general rate of 25% in 2018, regardless of whether they pay tax as part of a tax group or individually. Exceptionally, Repsol Investigaciones Petrolíferas, S.A., which files its taxes on an individual basis under the Special Hydrocarbon Regime, is taxed at 30%, and the Petronor group, which applies the special regional regime of Vizcaya, is taxed at 28%.
b) Other countries The rest of the Group companies are subject to taxation in each of the countries in which they do business, applying the prevailing income tax rate under applicable local tax regulations. Group companies in some countries are also subject to a levy on minimum presumptive income in addition to income tax. In turn, the Group companies resident in Spain that conduct some of their business in other countries are also subject to prevailing income tax in those countries in respect of the profits generated outside Spain. This is the case, for example, of the permanent establishments of the Spanish companies that carry out oil and gas exploration and production activities in other countries (including Libya, Algeria, Peru and Ecuador).

Below is a list of the statutory income tax rates applicable in the Group’s main tax jurisdictions:
(1) Plus tax on exceptional profits (TPE) by its acronym in Spanish. (2) Federal and provincial rate. (3) The federal rate applicable for 2018 (does not include state taxes).
In December 2017, a significant income tax reform was approved in the US, and enters into effect on January 1, 2018, in which the federal tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%. The reform has had a positive net impact on the Group, improving the value of its assets. However, it meant the revaluation at the end of 2017 of the tax credits and net deferred tax assets according to the new tax rate (negative impact of €406 million). During 2018, Colombia has approved a tax reform that foresees a progressive reduction of IS tax rates (to 37% in 2018 and 33% in 2019). The positive impact of the revaluation of tax credits and net deferred tax assets at the new tax rate in 2018 amounts to €8 million.
23.2) Accrued income tax expense The table below shows how the income tax expense accrued for accounting purposes in 2018 and 2017 was calculated:

The Repsol Group only recognizes deferred tax assets insofar as it is deemed probable that the entities (individually or on a consolidated basis) that have generated them will have sufficient taxable income in the future against which they can be utilized. At each closing date, the recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed to verify that they still qualify for recognition

and they make the appropriate adjustments on the basis of the outcome of the analysis performed. These analysis are based on: (i) the construction of hypotheses to analyze the existence or otherwise of sufficient earnings for tax purposes that might offset such tax losses based on the approach used to ascertain the presence of indications of impairment in its assets (see Note 3); (ii) the assessment of earnings estimates for each entity or tax group in accordance with their individual business plans and the Group's overall strategic plan; and (iii) the statute of limitations period and other utilization limits imposed under prevailing legislation in each country for the recovery of the tax credits. The deferred tax assets corresponding to offsetable tax losses and tax credits pending application amount to €3,671 million and correspond mainly to:
The Group has deferred tax assets not recognized of €3,390 million and €3,550 million at 2018 and 2017 respectively. The Group has deferred tax liabilities not recognized of €94 million and €108 million at year‐end 2018 and 2017 respectively. This mainly relates to taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and permanent establishments that qualify for the exemption provided for under IFRS. 23.4) Government and legal proceedings with tax implications In accordance with prevailing tax legislation, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the inspection period in each tax jurisdiction has prescribed. The years for which the Group companies have their tax returns open to inspection in respect of the main applicable taxes are as follows:
Whenever discrepancies arise between Repsol and the tax authorities with respect to the tax treatment applicable to certain operations, the Group acts with the authorities in a transparent and cooperative manner in order to resolve the resulting controversy, using the legal avenues at its disposition with a view to reaching non‐litigious solutions. However, in this fiscal year, as in prior years, there are administrative and legal proceedings with tax implications that might be adverse to the Group’s interest and that have given rise to litigious situations that could result in contingent tax liabilities. Repsol believes that it has acted lawfully in handling the foregoing matters and that its defense arguments are underpinned by reasonable interpretations of prevailing legislation, to which end it has lodged appeals as necessary to defend the interests of the Group and its shareholders.

It is difficult to predict when these tax proceedings will be resolved due to the extensive appeals process. Based on the advice received from in‐house and external tax experts, the Company believes that the tax liabilities that may ultimately derive from these proceedings will not have a significant impact on the accompanying Financial Statements. In the Group’s experience, the result of lawsuits claiming sizeable amounts have either tended to result in immaterial settlements or the courts have found in favor of the Group. The Group’s general criterion is to recognize provisions for tax‐related proceedings that it deems it is likely to lose and does not recognize provisions when the risk of losing the case is considered possible or remote. The amounts to be provisioned are calculated on the basis of the best estimate (see Note 3) of the amount needed to settle the lawsuit in question, underpinned, among others, by a case‐by‐case analysis of the facts, the legal opinions of its in‐house and external advisors and prior experience in these matters. At December 31, 2018, the Group recognized provisions to cover contingencies associated with lawsuits and other tax matters in the Group's consolidated balance statement for the sum of €1,390 million (€1,415 million at December 31, 2017), which are considered adequate to cover those contingencies (see Note 14). As for the main tax proceedings affecting the Group at December 31 noted below: Bolivia Repsol E&P Bolivia, S.A. has applied the regime established in the Tax Regularization Law (Law 1,105/2018) and waived the lawsuits pending resolution in application thereof, putting an end to existing disputes in tax matters, with no significant impact on the Group's financial statements. YPFB Andina, S.A. maintains a single lawsuit against an administrative act that, fundamentally, denies the deductibility of the payments for royalties and hydrocarbon stakes in the Tax to the Profits of the Companies before the nationalization of the oil sector. This lawsuit is currently pending a judgment in the first instance. The Company believes that its position is expressly endorsed in Law 4,115 of September 26, 2009.
Brazil Petrobras, as operator of the Albacora Leste, BMS 7, BMES 21 and BMS 9 consortia (in which Repsol has a 10%, 37%, 11% and 25% interest, respectively) received tax assessments (IRRF, CIDE and PIS/COFINS) and for the years 2008 to 2012, in connection with payments to foreign companies for charter contracts for exploration platforms and related services used in the blocks. All notices have been appealed and are either in administrative tribunals (2009‐2012) or are being appealed (2008). Likewise, Repsol Sinopec Brasil received notification of minutes for the same items and taxes (2009 and 2011), in connection with payments to foreign companies for contracts for chartering exploration vessels and related services used in blocks BMS 48, BMS 55, BMES 29 and BMC 33, in which Repsol Sinopec Brasil is the operator. All notices have been appealed in federal administrative bodies. The Company considers that its actions are in accordance with the law and are in line with the general practice of the sector. In relation to these lawsuits, the company has reduced the amount in litigation in relation to the IRRF, by 97%, by taking advantage of a program enabled by Law 13,586/17, which made this reduction possible through the retroactive application of the percentages of price determination (split) included in Law 13,043/2014 and through the abandonment of litigation in progress, without sanctions being applicable. Canada The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) periodically reviews the tax situation of Repsol Oil&Gas Canadá Inc. companies (formerly Talisman Group, acquired by Repsol in 2015) resident in Canada. The inspection activities for the years 2010 to 2012, have been completed in conformity, without relevant impacts on the Group’s financial statements. Corporate income tax for 2013‐2015 is currently being inspected. Ecuador Repsol Ecuador, S.A. Branch in Ecuador, holder of 35% of the stake in Consorcio Petrolero Block 16, and the company Oleoducto de Crudos Pesados, S.A. (OCP), an entity in which Repsol OCP de Ecuador, S.A. holds a 29.66% stake, have applied the remission regime established in the Organic Law for Productive Promotion, Investment Attraction, Employment Generation and Fiscal Stability and Equilibrium (Official letter No.: OCP).

all lawsuits that are pending, putting an end to existing disputes in tax matters (see Note 14). Spain Proceedings relating to the following corporate income tax years are still open.
‐ Financial years 2006 to 2009. The matters discussed relate mainly to transfer prices, deduction of losses for investments abroad and deductions for investments, the majority of them as a result in changes in the criteria maintained by the Administration in previous and subsequent actions. In relation to the transfer price adjustments, the settlements have been annulled as a consequence of a resolution of a dispute by the Arbitration Board of the Economic Agreement with the Basque Country and the resolution of an amicable procedure with the US, which is why the Inspection must issue new settlements applying the criteria already accepted in subsequent years by the Administration and the taxpayer. In relation to the other matters, the Central Economic Administrative Court partially upheld the company's appeal and has appealed to the National High Court for the aspects that were not upheld.
‐ Financial years 2010‐2013. The actions were concluded in 2017 without any sanctions being imposed and, for
the large part, by means of declarations of conformity or agreements from which no significant liabilities have arisen for the Group. However, with regards to two issues (deductibility of interest for the late payment of taxes and the calculation of losses on overseas business,) the administrative decision has been subject to appeal, as the Company believes it has acted within the law.
‐ Financial years 2014‐2016. The inspection started in August 2017 and is still ongoing.
The Company understands that all its actions have been in accordance with the law and does not expect any liabilities to arise that could have a material impact on the Group's results as a result of the foregoing procedures. Indonesia Indonesian Corporate Tax Authorities have been questioning various aspects of the taxation of permanent establishments that Talisman Group has in the country. These proceedings are pending a court hearing or administrative appeal. Malaysia Repsol Oil & Gas Malaysia Ltd. and Repsol Oil & Gas Malaysia (PM3) Ltd., the Group's operating subsidiaries in Malaysia, have received notifications from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) in respect of the years 2007, 2008 and 2011 questioning the deductibility of certain costs. The aforementioned actions have resulted in a reconciliation agreement ratified by the tax court, under which Repsol subsidiaries will receive a refund of the taxes initially retained by the IRB.

The aforementioned guarantees cannot be considered a definite outflow of resources to third parties, as for the large part, they will mature without any payment obligation arising.

(29) PERSONNEL OBLIGATIONS 29.1) Defined contribution pension plans Repsol has defined mixed modality plans for certain employees in Spain, which conform to current legislation. Specifically, this refers to pension plans with defined contributions for retirement and defined contributions for permanent disability and death. For contingencies of permanent disability and death, pension plans have life insurance policies with an external entity. Additionally, outside Spain, certain Group subsidiaries have a defined contribution pension plans for their employees. The annual cost charged to “Personnel expenses” in the income statement in relation to the defined contribution pension plans detailed above has risen to €56 million in 2018 and €54 million in 2017. Executives of the Repsol Group in Spain are beneficiaries of an executive pension plan that complements the standard pension plan denominated “Plan de previsión de Directivos” (Management remuneration plan) which covers the participant retirement, disability and death. Repsol makes defined contributions based on a percentage of participants’ salaries. The plan guarantees a fixed return equivalent to 125% the prior year National Consumer Price Index. The plan is instrumented through collective insurances that cover pension obligations, subscribed with an insurance entity. Premiums paid under these policies finance and externalize the Group’s commitments in respect of contributions, as well as the fixed return mentioned above.
The cost of this plan recognized under “Personnel expenses” in the income statement in 2018 and 2017 was €12.00 and €13.5 million, respectively. 29.2) Defined benefit pension plans Repsol has arranged defined benefit pension plans for certain groups of employees. The amount charged to the Group's income statement in 2018 and 2017 was €5 million and €2 million respectively, while the related balance sheet provision at year‐end 2018 and 2017 stood at €64 million and €70 million, respectively (see Note 14). 29.3) Long‐term variable remuneration The Company has implemented a loyalty building program aimed at senior executives and other persons occupying positions of responsibility in the Group, consisting of long‐term incentives as part of their benefit package. The purpose of this program is to strengthen the identification of executives and managers with shareholders' interests, based on the Company’s medium and long‐term earnings sustainability as well as the compliance with the Strategic Plan, while at the same time facilitating the retention by the Group of key personnel. At year end, the 2015‐2018, 2016‐2019, 2017‐2020 and 2018‐2021 long‐term incentive programs were in force. The 2014‐2017 plan was closed, as originally stipulated, on December 31, 2017 and its beneficiaries perceived their bonuses during 2018. The four long‐term incentive programs in effect are independent of each other but their main characteristics are the same. Fulfillment of the respective objectives tied to each program entitles the beneficiaries of each plan to receive an incentive in the first four months of the year following the last year of the plan. However, receipt of this incentive payment is tied to the beneficiary remaining in the Group's employ until December 31 of the last year of the plan, except in the special cases envisaged in the terms and conditions of the related plan. If the incentive is to be received, the amount determined at the time the long‐term incentive is applied a first variable coefficient on the basis of the extent to which the objectives set are achieved, and then a second variable coefficient linked to the arithmetic mean of the individual performance evaluation obtained by the beneficiary in the years included in the measurement period of each incentive program, calculated as the percentage of individual variable annual remuneration obtained with respect to 100% of the established target. None of the plans involve the delivery of shares or options to beneficiaries, with the exception of Executive Directors to

whom, as per the agreement approved by the shareholder annual meeting on May 19, 2017, under Agenda item 19, a payment shall be made partially in shares (30%); the amount corresponding to the Long‐Term Incentive Programs for 2014‐2017, 2015‐2018, 2016‐2019, 2017‐2020 and 2018‐2021. The 2016‐2019, 2017‐2020 and 2018‐2021 Programs involve targets pegged to Repsol’s stock price performance. The amount corresponding to the 2015‐2018 Long‐term Incentive Plan will be paid to the Executive Directors in a proportion of 70% in cash and the remaining 30% in Company shares, so that Mr. Josu Jon Imaz will receive € 1,098,339 in cash and 14,330 Company shares, equivalent to an amount of €217,041 and Mr. Luis Suárez de Lezo Mantilla will receive €706,197 in cash and 9,214 Company shares, equivalent to an amount of €139,554. As resolved by the General Shareholders’ meeting on May 19, 2017, the final number of shares to be delivered to the Executive Directors is calculated taking into account: (i) the amount that is effectively payable to each Director following application of the corresponding taxes (or withholdings) ; and (ii) the weighted average for the daily volume of average weighted Repsol share prices in the fifteen trading sessions before the Friday of the week preceding the date on which the Board of Directors agrees payment of the Long‐Term Incentive for Executive Directors in each of the Plans. To reflect the commitments assumed under these incentive plans, the Group recognized a provision charge of €31 and €23 million in the 2018 and 2017 income statement, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group had recognized provisions totaling €70 million and €57 Million, respectively, to meet its obligations under all the aforementioned plans, to fulfill all the plans described above. 29.4) Share purchase plans for beneficiaries of long‐term incentive programs and share acquisition plans i.) "Share Purchase Plan for Beneficiaries of the Long‐Term Incentive Programs”
This Plan allows its beneficiaries to invest in Repsol, S.A. shares of up to 50% of the gross amount of the long‐term incentive received and its purpose is to encourage its beneficiaries (including Executive Directors and members of the Executive Committee) to align themselves with the long‐term interests of the Company and its shareholders. Its aim is to promote the alignment of beneficiaries (including Executive Directors and Corporate Executive Committee members) with the long‐terms interests of both the Company and its shareholders. If the beneficiaries continue to hold the shares so acquired for three years after they are purchased and the rest of the Plan terms and conditions are met, the Company will provide them with one additional share for every three initially acquired. The beneficiaries qualifying as Senior Management, defined to this end as the Executive Directors and the other Members of the Executive Committee, are subject to an additional performance requirement in order to qualify for receipt of these additional shares, namely overall satisfaction of at least 75% of the targets set in the long‐term incentive program closed in the year immediately preceding that of delivery of the shares. At the date of preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for issue, the sixth, seventh and eighth cycles of this Plan were in force (2016‐2019, 2017‐2020 and 2018‐2021); key data for these cycles are provided below:

(1) This amount includes the shares delivered to the Executive Directors as a partial payment of the ILP 2014‐2017 Program, amounting to
21,003. In accordance with the provisions of the Directors' Remuneration Policy, the shares, if any, delivered to the Executive Directors under each long‐term variable remuneration plan may be computed for the purposes of the investment in shares referred to in the Share Purchase Plan by the Beneficiaries of the Multi‐Year Variable Remuneration Programs.
During this eighth cycle, the current members of the Corporate Executive Committee and other Executive Directors have acquired a total of 63,606 shares. As a result of this Plan, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group had recognized an expense under “Personnel expenses” with a counterbalancing entry under “Other reserves” in equity of €0.5 million.

In addition, the fifth cycle of the Plan vested on May 29, 2018. As a result, the rights of 166 beneficiaries to 37,570 shares vested (receiving a total of 28,523 shares net of payment on account of the personal income tax to be made by the Company). Specifically, the rights of the members of the Executive Committee and the rest of the Executive Directors to 13,328 shares also vested (net of the withholding retained by the Company, these individuals received a total of 9,222 shares).
ii.) “Share Acquisition Plans” Since 2011 the Company has set up different Share Acquisition Plans, which were approved at the Annual General Meetings of April 15, 2011 (the 2011‐2012 Share Acquisition Plan), May 31, 2012 (the 2013‐2015 Share Acquisition Plan), April 30, 2015 (the 2016‐2018 Share Acquisition Plan) and 11 May 2018 (Share Acquisition Plan 2019‐2021). These Plans are targeted at employees of the Repsol Group in Spain and are designed to enable those so wishing to receive a portion of their remuneration in Repsol, S.A. shares up to an annual limit of €12,000. The shares to be delivered will be valued at Repsol, S.A.’s closing share price on the continuous Spanish stock market on each date of delivery to the beneficiaries. In 2018 the Group purchased 518,228 shares of Repsol, S.A. for €8.2 million for delivery to employees. Under the scope of the 2017 Plan, the Group acquired 539,430 shares from Repsol, S.A. for a total of €7.8 million (see Note 7). The members of the Executive Committee acquired a total of 5,274 shares in accordance with the plan terms and conditions in 2018.
The shares to be delivered under both schemes i) and ii) may be sourced from Repsol’s directly or indirectly held treasury shares, new‐issued shares or from third party entities with whom the Group has entered into agreements to guarantee coverage of the commitments assumed.

For reporting purposes in this section, Repsol considers "key management personnel" to be the members of the Executive Committee. In 2018, a total of 10 persons formed the Executive Committee. The term “key management personnel’', made purely for reporting purposes, neither substitutes nor comprises a benchmark for interpreting other senior management pay concepts applicable to the Company under prevailing legislation (e.g. Royal Decree 1382/1985), nor does it have the effect of creating, recognizing, amending or extinguishing any existing legal or contractual rights or obligations. This section itemizes the remuneration accrued in 2018 by the people who, at some juncture during the period and during the time they occupied such positions, were members of the Board of Directors. Unless indicated otherwise, the compensation figures provided for "key management personnel" do not include the compensation accrued by people who are also directors of Repsol, S.A.; the director compensation disclosures for these individuals are included in section 1 of this note.

Executive welfare plan 1.103

In relation to the risks and management of climate change, as well as the Group's environmental management, see sections 6.1 "Climate change" and 6.3 "Environment" of the Consolidated Management Report. 31.1) Environmental investment, expenses and provisions1
Environmental investments in 2018 amounted to € 241 million (€ 199 million classified as 'work in progress' at 31 December). Of note are those aimed at improving environmental quality of oil products, managing and optimizing water consumption, minimizing emissions into the atmosphere, increasing energy saving and efficiency and improving contingency systems and spill prevention systems and managing and optimizing water consumption. Of particular note in 2018 is the completion of the project to adapt the new quality specifications at the La Pampilla refinery in Peru, with the start‐up of the gasoline production units for an accumulated investment of €245 million (€ 29 million invested in 2018). Environmental expenses, which are recorded under the headings "Supplies" and "Other Operating Expenses", amounted to €195 million and €162 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, and include the expenses for the rights necessary to cover CO2 emissions (see next section). In 2018, the actions carried out for the protection of the atmosphere in the downstream industrial facilities amounting to €27 million (€31 million in 2017); water management amounting to €17 million (€19 million in 2017); waste management amounting to €18 million (€16 million in 2017), and soil remediation and abandonment amounting to €8 million (€12 million in 2017) stand out. In addition, €33.7 million were invested in energy efficiency projects in 2018, including a €5 million investment in the Coruña refinery to reduce emissions by replacing turbines in the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC), and a €5.9 million euro investment in Petronor for efficiency actions in furnaces and heat exchangers. Provisions for environmental actions2 at 31 December 2018 amount to €53 million (€79 million in 2017). No significant provisions were recorded during the year. Additionally, the Group has registered field dismantling provisions (see Note 14). The insurance policies cover, subject to terms and conditions, civil liability for pollution on land and at sea and certain liabilities via‐a‐vis the authorities pursuant to the Environmental Liability Act, all of which derived from accidental, sudden and identifiable events, in keeping with habitual industry practice and applicable legislation.
1 Items identified as an environmental nature, are understood as those the purpose of which is to minimize environmental impact and to protect and
improve the environment. The criteria for their assessment are based on the Group's technical criteria established in the "Repsol Safety and Environmental Costs Guide" based on the guidelines issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
2 Repsol recognizes the provisions required to cover the measures aimed at preventing and repairing environmental impact. These provisions are
presented under “Current and non‐current provisions” on the balance sheet and under the “Other provisions” column in the table reconciling the movement in provisions in Note 14.

31.2) Carbon emission allowances Accounting policies –Carbon emission allowances
Emission allowances are recognized as an intangible asset and are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Those received free of charge under the emissions trading system for the period 2013‐2020, are initially recognized at the market price prevailing at the beginning of the year in which they are issued, against deferred income as a grant. As the corresponding tons of CO2 are issued, the deferred income is reclassified to profit or loss. They are not amortized as their carrying amount matches their residual value and are subject to an impairment test based on their recoverable amount, (measured with reference to the price of the benchmark contract in the futures market provided by the ECX‐European Climate Exchange). The Group records an expense under “Other operating expenses” in the income statement for the Carbon emissions released during the year, recognizing a provision calculated based on the tons of CO2 emitted, measured at: (i) their carrying amount in the case of the allowances of which the Group is in possession at year end; and (ii) the closing list price in the case of allowances of which it is not in possession at year end. When the emissions allowances for the CO2 tons emitted are delivered to the authorities, the intangible assets as well as their corresponding provision are derecognized from the balance sheet without any effect on the income statement. When carbon emission allowances are actively managed to take advantage of market trading opportunities, the trading allowances portfolio is classified as trading inventories (see Note 16).
In Europe, the regulation concerning the carbon allowances market, the EU Emissions Trading System Directive (EU‐ETS) entered Phase III on January 1, 2013. This phase, which ends in 2020, marks the end of the generic allocation of carbon emission allowances, where some emissions, such as those related to electricity generation, will no longer benefit from free allocations, while others will be significantly reduced. The 2014 update to the EU‐ETS Directive confirmed that refining activity in Europe was one of the sectors exposed to "Carbon Leakage" and would therefore continue to benefit from the free allocation of carbon allowances, partially covering its deficits. The provisions movements recognized in respect of carbon emission allowances used in 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
2018 2017
Opening balance for the year 69 72
Contributions charged to results (1) 114 69
Reclassifications and other movements (2) (70) (72)
Balance at year end 113 69
€ Million
(1) Corresponds to the expense incurred to acquire the allowances needed to cover the Group's carbon emissions. (2) In 2018 and 2017, corresponds to the derecognition of allowances used to cover emissions made in 2017 and 2016, respectively (see Note 11).
During 2018 and 2017, the companies comprising the consolidation scope recognized emission allowances allocated free of charge under the Spanish National Allocation plan equivalent to 8 million tons of CO2, initially measured at €63 and €51 million, respectively (see Note 11). The net cost of carbon management amounted to 44 million euros in 2018 and 17 million euros in 2017.
(32) FURTHER BREAKDOWNS 32.1) Staff1 Repsol Group employed a total of 24,506 people at December 31, 2018, geographically distributed as follows: Spain (16,740 employees), North America (1,339 employees), South America (3,927 employees), Europe, Africa and Brazil (1,754 employees), Asia and Russia (745 employees) and Oceania (1 employee).

APPENDIX III: REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The activities of Repsol, S.A. and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation, whose key aspects are described below. Spain Basic legislation Spain currently has a legislation which implements a liberalization of the Oil Industry, an example of which is the Hydrocarbons Sector Law 34/1998 of October 7 (“LSH”), which has been amended by several legislative acts. Law 2/2011, of March 4, on Sustainable Economy, modified the Hydrocarbons Sector Law, establishing binding guidelines for energy planning under criteria designed to contribute to the creation of a safe, cost‐effective, economically‐sustainable, and environmentally‐friendly energy system. Law 3/2013 of June 4, regarding the creation of the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC – “Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia,” in Spanish), created as an overseeing body, charged with the duties and tasks relating to supervision and control of regulated markets, which were previously supervised by various National Commissions, including the Energy and Competition. Controlling concentration regime in the energy sector The aforementioned Law 3/2013 modified the regime controlling corporate transactions in the energy sector, allocating duties to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO). It devises a new ex post regime with respect to certain transactions by either requiring the buyer to notify MITECO of the execution of certain transactions or by means of the imposition of conditions on the business operations of the companies acquired, in so far as energy supply in Spain is deemed threatened. A novelty of this new control regime is that in addition to extending to the electricity and gas sectors, it now extends to the liquid hydrocarbons sector including companies that pursue refining activities, pipeline transportation, and storage of petroleum products (related activities), or companies that hold title to said assets. Such assets acquire the condition of strategic assets. Principal operators and dominant operators Under Royal Decree‐Law 5/2005, of March 11, the CNE ‐ currently the CNMC ‐ is obliged to publish not only the list of principal operators but also the dominant operators in each energy market or sector. Dominant operators are defined as those commanding a share of more than 10% of the benchmark market. On the other hand, a principal operator is considered an operator ranked among the top five players by market share. Designation as a dominant operator or principal operator implies certain regulatory restrictions. Oil and gas exploration and production Hydrocarbon deposits and underground storage existing on Spanish territory and in the territorial marine subsoil and ocean bottoms which are under Spanish sovereignty are considered public properties. Exploration permits are granted by national or regional governments, depending on whether autonomous areas are affected, and exclusive investigation rights for the area in question are granted for periods lasting six years. In turn, the concession for exploiting hydrocarbon reserves grants the owners exclusive exploration rights for 30 years, renewable for two successive ten‐year periods, as well as the right to continue exploration activities in these areas and obtain authorization to freely sell the hydrocarbon products they obtain. Law 8/2015, regulating specific tax and non‐tax measures related to oil and gas exploration, research and operation activities, fosters non‐conventional extraction, or 'fracking' and creates an incentive regime for regional and local governments that pursue such activities, as well as creating a scheme for land owners to share in the profits derived from the related extraction activity. Furthermore, on November 18, 2017, Royal Decree‐Law 16/2017 came into
force, establishing safety provisions applicable to the hydrocarbon research and operation at sea ("RDL"), which partially transposes Directive 2013/30/EU, of June 12, 2013 on safety of offshore oil and gas operations ("Offshore Directive") into Spanish law. The purpose of the RDL is to establish minimum requirements that offshore hydrocarbon research and operations must meet to prevent major accidents and to mitigate their consequences and to define action principles to ensure that offshore operations (including operations undertaken outside the EU) are performed employing a systematic risk management approach to ensure that the residual risk of serious accidents is considered acceptable. Oil products Law 11/2013 of July 26, regarding measures to support entrepreneurs and to stimulate growth and job creation, introduces a number of measures in the wholesale and retail markets for petroleum products intended to increase effective competition in the sector. In the retail side of the business, it introduces changes to exclusive supply agreements for the distribution of vehicle fuel. Specifically, their term is now limited to 1 year (from 5 years previously); they can be automatically rolled over for additional one‐year periods, for a maximum of three years, if and only if the distributor so desires. The new legislation also bans clauses that set, recommend or influence, directly or indirectly, the price at which fuel is sold to the public. Additionally, it establishes limits on growth in the number of fuel supply facilities of wholesalers with provincial markets shares of over 30%. Law 8/2015 stipulates that from 2016 on, this market share shall no longer be measured in terms of points of sale but rather based on prior‐year sales figures, allowing the government to revise this percentage threshold in three years' time or even remove the restriction altogether, market trends and the sector's business structure so permitting. Finally, Law 8/2015 allows owners of oil and gas product retailers that do not belong to the distribution network of a wholesale operator (private label networks operating without exclusive supply agreements) to inform consumers of the origin of the fuel they sell by advertising the wholesaler from which they purchase the said fuel. Furthermore, oil and gas product retailers may supply products to other retailers, subject only to the requirement of first registering themselves in the special duty registry. Minimum stock for security Royal Decree 1766/2007, regulates the obligation to maintain a minimum inventory in the oil and natural gas sectors, the obligation to diversify the natural gas provisions and the activities of the Corporation of Strategic Reserves of Petroleum Products (CORES for its acronym in Spanish). The obligation to maintain minimum stocks of oil and gas products for security reasons, excluding LPG, currently requires storing at all times an amount equivalent to 92 days of sales based on the sales during the previous 12 months. Repsol was obliged to maintain a stock corresponding to 50 days of sales, while the remaining inventory required to make up the difference with the above mentioned safety stock requirement are held by CORES on behalf of the various operators (strategic reserves). Royal Decree‐Law 15/2013, of December 13, introduces an amendment to the Hydrocarbon Sector Act, indicating that via regulation, administrative procedures and obligations needed to ensure, on an ongoing basis, a minimum safety buffer equivalent, at least, to the higher of the volume corresponding to 90 days of average net daily imports and 61 days of average internal daily consumption corresponding to the year of reference and measured in oil equivalent. LPG The prices of oil derivatives are deregulated, with the exception of LPG, which is, under certain circumstances, subject to retail price ceilings. The prices of bulk LPG and bottled LPG in cylinders with capacity of under 8 kilograms or
Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish language version prevails. Financial Statements 2018 │Repsol Group
102
over 20 kilograms are deregulated. Law 18/2014 of October 15 has had the effect of also deregulating the prices of containers with capacity of under 8 kilograms or over 20 kilograms with a tare weight of no more than 9 kilograms other than containers of LPG mixes intended for use for fuel purposes; this measure favors certain players over others as a function of the tare weight of the containers they market and, in practice, does not constitute full sector deregulation. Ministerial Order IET/389/2015 of March 5, 2015 updates the system for automatically determining the maximum price at which bottled LPG can be retailed and for determining the price of piped LPG, adjusting the formulae used to calculate raw material costs in order to, as per the wording of the Order, adapt them "to the supply reality in the Spanish market in recent years''. Adaptation of these formulae does not apply to sales costs, thereby resulting in a reduction in maximum bottled LPG retail prices and piped LPG retail prices. Additionally, Law 18/2014 consolidate users' right to home delivery of containers weighing between 8 and 20 kilograms by obliging the LPG wholesalers with the biggest market shares in the corresponding mainland and island territories to perform this home‐delivery service. Failure to fulfill this obligation constitutes a very serious offense. The list of LPG wholesalers so obliged is determined by a resolution issued by the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mining every 3 years. Every 5 years, the Spanish government is entitled to revise the terms of this obligation and has the power to remove it. The current list of mandatory home suppliers is as follows: Repsol Butano on the mainland and in the Balearics, DISA in the Canary Islands and Atlas in Ceuta and Melilla. Natural Gas Law 12/2007 of July 2, which amended the Hydrocarbon Sector Act incorporated measures for achieving a completely liberalized market. This legislation establishes the framework for eliminating the tariff system and creates the role of the supplier of last resort with ultimate liability for supplying customers lacking sufficient bargaining power. Moreover, these suppliers are subject to a price cap (“last resort tariff”), set by MITECO. Business operations in the natural gas sector can be classified into: i) regulated activities: transport (including storage, regasification and transport per se) and distribution of natural gas; and ii) deregulated activities: production, acquisition and marketing of natural gas. The Natural Gas System Operator, Enagás S.A. is responsible for the coordinating and ensuring that the system works properly. Law 8/2015 creates an official natural gas hub with a view to facilitating entry into the market of new suppliers and increasing competition, creating a new single hub operator, tasked with management of the gas ”hub”, the MIBGAS,(which stands for Iberian Gas Market in Spanish), which ensures that all participating entities comply with the established rules. Electricity sector regulation in Spain Deregulation of the Spanish electricity sector began in 1997 with the passage of Law 54/1997, of November 27, the Electricity Sector Act, which was amended by Law 17/2007, of July 4, and later by Law 24/2013, of December 26, which took effect on December 28, 2013. Generation and supply activities continue to be deregulated, developed by competitive businesses, while transmission, distribution and the system’s technical and financial management remain as regulated activities, characterized by an access that requires administrative authorization, activities normatively set their remuneration and are subject to specific obligations. Power supply, for its part, is classified as a service of general economic interest. Royal Decree 413/2014 regulates the legal and economic regime governing the production of electric power using renewable sources, combined heat and power systems and waste and affects the Repsol Group's facilities, formerly part of the now‐defunct 'special' regime and now assimilated into the 'ordinary' regime. Ministerial Order IET/1045/2014 of June 16, meanwhile, enacts the standard facility remuneration parameters applicable to certain electricity‐producing facilities that use renewable energy sources, CHP systems or waste. Royal Decree 900/2015, of October 9, regulating the administrative, technical and financial conditions was passed, which governs the permitted forms of electricity distribution and generation with self‐consumption. This Royal Decree 900/2015 has been substantially modified by Royal Decree‐Law 15/2018, pending the new regulatory development of self‐consumption in
Spain. Order ETU/130/2017, of February 17, updates the remuneration parameters of standard installations applicable to certain installations for the production of electrical energy from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste, for the purposes of its application to the regulatory semi‐period commencing on January 1, 2017. a. Remuneration system for the generation activity Law 24/2013, of December 26, abandons the differentiated concepts of ordinary and special regime, without prejudice to the singular considerations that need to be established. The remuneration system for renewable energies, cogeneration and waste is based on the market share of these facilities, complementing market income with a specific regulated remuneration that allows these technologies to compete on an equal footing with the rest of the technologies on the market. This additional specific remuneration must be sufficient to achieve the minimum level necessary to cover costs which, unlike conventional technologies, cannot be recouped on the market and will enable them to obtain adequate profitability with reference to the standard facility in each applicable case. The rate of return for the activity of production from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste, for the first regulatory period, is established in Royal Decree‐Law 9/2013 of July 12, which adopts urgent measures to ensure the financial stability of the electricity system. For the purpose of calculating the specific remuneration, the following shall be taken into account for a standard facility: the income from the sale of the generated energy valued at the production market price, the average operating costs necessary to carry out the activity and the value of the initial investment of the standard facility. Royal Decree 359/2017, of March 31, established a call for the granting of the specific remuneration system to new facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources in the peninsular electricity system, and Order ETU/315/2017, of April 6, regulated the procedure for assigning the specific remuneration system. In turn, and for 2016 calls only for biomass and wind through Royal Decree 947/2015 and Order IET/2212/2015, and the 2nd auction in 2017 through Royal Decree 650/2017 and Order ETU/615/2017), similar to the 1st of that year and open to all technologies. b. Remuneration system for the marketing activity The marketing activity is based on the principles of freedom of contract and choice of supplier by the customer. Marketing, as a liberalized activity, has a freely agreed remuneration between the parties. Of note is Law 24/2013, subsequently developed by Royal Decree 216/2014, of March 28, which establishes the methodology for calculating voluntary prices for small electricity consumers and their legal contracting regime. These prices are defined, in line with the previously denominated last resort tariffs, as the maximum prices that reference resellers may charge to consumers who use them (consumers of less than a certain contracted power, 10 kW, who wish to use this modality as opposed to a bilateral negotiation with a free reseller). These prices will be unique in the whole Spanish territory. The term last resort tariffs is reserved for two groups of consumers: the so‐called vulnerable (which also define the new categories of severely vulnerable and at risk of social exclusion) and those consumers who, without being entitled to voluntary prices for the small consumer, temporarily do not have a supply contract with a marketer. These voluntary prices for the small consumer shall include in an additive manner, by analogy with the tariff of last resort, the concepts of electricity production cost, the corresponding access tolls and charges and the corresponding marketing costs. In addition, this Royal Decree provides as an alternative that the consumer can contract a fixed price of energy for one year with the reference marketer. It also sets out the criteria for designating reference marketers and their obligations in relation to supply to certain consumer groups. Royal Decree 469/2016, of November 18, amending Royal Decree 216/2014, establishes the methodology for calculating the marketing costs of the reference marketers to be included in the calculation of the voluntary price for small consumers. Order ETU/1948/2016, of December 22, fixed the values of the marketing costs of the reference marketers to be included in the calculation of the voluntary price for the small consumer of electricity in the period 2014‐2018, which result from applying the new approved methodology.

In turn, Royal Decree‐Law 7/2016 and Royal Decree 897/2017, are the current frame of reference for everything relating to the rate subsidy and the vulnerable consumer. c. Tariff deficit In terms of revenue, the electricity system was not self‐sufficient until 2014, generating an annual deficit, which the electricity companies have had to finance. 2014 was the first year with a surplus in the electricity system after more than a decade in which significant deficits accumulated, thanks to the comprehensive reform undertaken to put an end to the emergence of tariff deficits and allow the economic‐financial balance of the system, fundamentally based on the following regulations: ‐ Law 15/2012, of 27 December, on fiscal measures for energy sustainability introduced by the IVPEE, commonly known as the green cent, the hydroelectric canon, etc...
‐ Royal Decree‐Law 9/2013, of July 12, which adopted urgent measures to guarantee the financial stability of the electricity system, established a new remuneration system for facilities generating renewable energy, cogeneration and waste and a series of additional remuneration principles for the transport and distribution of electricity, establishing the concept of reasonable profitability in a project profitability, which will turn, before taxes, on the average yield in the secondary market of the ten‐year Government Bonds applying the appropriate differential. In addition, it contemplates other measures aimed at rebalancing the balance between income and costs of the electricity system, such as imposing the financing of the rate subsidy on vertically integrated companies or the reduction of the investment incentive in exchange for doubling the time remaining to receive this incentive. Subsequently, the obligation was transferred to the marketing companies (or their corporate parent companies), an obligation that is currently in force.
‐ Law 24/2013, of December 26, incorporates the guiding principle of economic and financial sustainability, whereby any regulatory measure in relation to the sector that entails an increase in cost for the electricity system or a reduction in income must incorporate an equivalent reduction in other cost items or an equivalent increase in income to ensure the system's.
‐ Royal Decree 1054/2014, of December 12, regulates the procedure for assigning the rights to collect the electricity system deficit for 2013 and develops the methodology for calculating the interest rate that will accrue to the rights to collect said deficit and, where appropriate, the negative temporary misalignments in the financial years after 2013.
From 2014 onwards, any temporary mismatch between income and costs of the electricity system resulting from the closing settlements in a financial year and resulting in a deficit of income, as well as the transitory deviations between income and costs in the monthly settlements on account of the closing of each financial year that may arise, shall be financed by the subjects of the settlement system in proportion to the remuneration corresponding to them for the activity they carry out. In the event of a revenue shortfall in a financial year, the amount of the shortfall may not exceed 2 per cent of the system's estimated revenue for that financial year. In addition, the accumulated debt due to misalignments from previous years may not exceed 5% of the system's estimated revenues for that year. Tolls, if any, or corresponding charges shall be revised by a total at least equal to the amount by which those limits are exceeded.]
Contributions to the national energy efficiency fund Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 25, 2012 on energy efficiency makes it binding on member states to justify a quantity of energy savings by 2020, obliging each state to establish energy efficiency obligation schemes such that energy distributors and/or retailers are obliged to achieve a cumulative quantity of energy savings by year‐end 2020 means of annual savings between 2014 and 2020 equivalent to 1.5% of their annual energy sales. Royal Decree‐Law 8/2014 and Law 18/2014 transpose this EU Directive into Spanish law by establishing a National Energy Efficiency Fund (NEEF) by virtue of which gas and electricity distributors, oil product wholesalers and liquid
petroleum gas wholesalers (although the latter are not considered bound parties under the Directive) are allocated an annual energy saving target at the national level called savings obligations, which is quantified in financial terms. The successive IET/ETU ministerial orders stipulating mandatory contributions to the National Energy Efficiency Fund, are being appealed by the various companies encompassed by the aforementioned National Fund contribution obligation, including the Group entities subject to this obligation. Energy audits Spanish Royal Decree 56/2016, of February 12, transposing Article 8 of Directive 2012/27/EU, of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 25 October 2012, on energy efficiency, in respect of energy audits, energy service and energy audit provider accreditation and the promotion of energy efficiency, took effect in February 2016. It has the effect of obliging all enterprises that are not SMEs (“large enterprises”) within the European Union to carry out regular energy audits with a view to analyzing whether their energy management is as good as possible and having them establish the opportune energy savings and efficiency opportunities and proposals as warranted. The Group's energy management systems, which are based on the international ISO 50001 standard, are found in the Group's main industrial companies. Climate change and alternative fuels Following the Paris Agreement, countries' commitments under their respective National Determined Contributions (NDCs) will have a significant impact on the development of new climate policies. As a signatory of the “Paris Pledge for Action” document, Repsol supports the agreement, and works toward being part of the climate change solution. In this connection, the Council of Ministers approved the National Action Framework on December 9, 2016 on alternative energy sources for transport. Climate Change and Air Quality. Furthermore, the future Climate Change and Energy Transition Law is being discussed, with a first draft of it having been submitted to a first round of comments within the framework of the National Climate Council. This Law represents a commitment on behalf of the Prime Minister to fulfil the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement and in the framework of the European Union, which has already been assumed by Spain. Royal Decree 639/2016, of December 9, published on December 10 lays down a framework of measures to implement an infrastructure for alternative fuels, with the aim of minimizing the dependence of the transport industry on oil, mitigating the environmental impact of transport, and setting threshold requirements for the creation of an infrastructure for alternative fuel, including charging stations for electric vehicles and natural gas and hydrogen refuelling stations. For further information on the regulatory risks arising from climate change see section [6.1] of the 2018 Consolidated Management Report. Bolivia The 2009 Bolivian Constitutions establishes that state‐owned company
Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) is authorized to enter into service agreements with companies for the latter to undertake activities in its name and on its behalf in exchange for remuneration or payment for their services. The Bolivian oil and gas industry is regulated by Law 3,058 of May 19, 2005
(the “Hydrocarbons Law”). On May 1, 2006, Supreme Decree 28,701 was published, which nationalized
the country’s hydrocarbons. Furthermore, the shares required to enable YPFB to control at least 50% plus one vote in different companies, among them Empresa Petrolera Andina, S.A., (currently known as YPFB Andina) were nationalized. On December 11, 2015, Law No. 767 was passed to promote investment in oil and gas exploration and production in Bolivia. Furthermore, Law No. 817 of July 19, 2016 was enacted supplementing Article 42 of Law No. 3058,

104
previously amended by Law No. 767, allowing YPFB to enforce addendums to Operating Contracts to extend their term. Operating Contracts As a result of the Hydrocarbons Law and the Nationalization Decree, Repsol E&P Bolivia S.A. and its subsidiary YPFB Andina S.A. signed the Operating Contracts with YPFB establishing the conditions for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Bolivia, effective as of May 2, 2007. Additionally, on May 8, 2009 the Natural Gas and Liquid Hydrocarbon Delivery Agreements establishing the terms and conditions governing the delivery of hydrocarbons by the Holder were executed at which time the Payment Procedures stipulating the Holder Remuneration payment mechanism were also executed. On November 14, 2017, an addendum to the Operating Contract was signed for Caipipendi area, approved by Law No. 1,013 of December 27, 2017, coming into force on March 20, 2018. This addendum seeks to establish the continuation of Oil Operations in Area from May 2, 2031 onwards, subject to compliance with a new investment plan to be enforced by the Holder. Furthermore, on June 13, 2018 YPFB Andina S.A, YPFB Chaco S.A, Repsol E&P Bolivia S.A., Shell Bolivia Corporation Sucursal Bolivia and PAE E&P Bolivia Limited (Sucursal Bolivia) entered into an Oil Services Contract for the Exploration and Operation of Reserved Areas in favor of Yacimientos
Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos – YPFB, corresponding to the Iñiguazu region, approved by Law No. 1081 of August 10, 2018. Canada In the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan where the majority of the Company’s exploration and production interests in Canada lie, the provincial governments own the majority of the subsurface mineral rights to crude oil and natural gas. These governments grant rights to explore for and produce oil and natural gas from Crown lands under the conditions set forth in provincial legislation and regulations. In addition to Crown lands, the Company participates in leases entered into from freehold mineral owners through direct negotiation. The royalties applicable to production in Crown lands are established by government regulation and, in general, calculated as a percentage of gross production based on the productivity of the wells, geographic location, date on which the oil fields were discovered, recovery method and type of quality of oil derivative produced. Occasionally, the provincial governments may roll out incentive programs for exploration and development. Such programs seek to reduce for royalty rate fees, grace periods for fees or tax credits. Fees payable for production on privately owned land are established by means of negotiation between the owner and the company Companies operating in the Canadian oil and natural gas industry are subject to extensive regulation and control of operations (including land ownership, exploration, development, production, refining, transportation and marketing in addition to environmental matters) as a result of legislation and policy enacted at both the federal level (by the government of Canada) and by the various provincial governments. Generally speaking, oversight of such operations is undertaken by regulatory bodies that include the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission, the Alberta Energy regulatory entity, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Economy and the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment, as well as federal regulatory bodies such as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the National Energy Board of Canada. Environment legislation restricts and prohibits the release or emission of various substances, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. The regulations also impose conditions or prohibitions in operating in certain environmentally sensitive areas and establish requirements that regulate the satisfactory abandonment and reclamation of well and facility sites. Non‐compliance with the legislation, regulations, orders, directives or other applicable guidelines can result in fines or other sanctions. In November 2016, the provincial government of Alberta issued regulations regarding carbon emissions that included a carbon levy across all industry sectors. The price per ton of carbon dioxide emitted will increase to the previously announced amount of $30 CDN in 2018 and compared to $20 CDN in 2017. The fee is paid at the time that hydrocarbons are eliminated or
acquired in a gas or oil pipelines. The regulation contains exemptions for the producers and processors of raw material through to 2023, with certain exceptions. The Company has applied for and received exemption certificates in all possible cases. In addition to the provincial regulations, the Canadian Federal Government has announced, as part of the Pan‐Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, the possibility of provinces applying further increases to the price of carbon to $50 CDN per ton by 2022. Ecuador In accordance with the Constitution of 2008 and the Hydrocarbons Law of Ecuador, the nation’s hydrocarbon fields and the associated substances are the inalienable, imprescriptible and unattachable property of the State. The amended legislation of the Hydrocarbons Law and the Internal Tax Regime Law, of July 27, 2010, established that all agreements for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons must be modified to reflect the amended reformed services agreement model. This model involves the contractor being obliged to provide services using its own economic resources and at its own risk. In exchange, the contractor will receive a set price per net barrel of oil produced and delivered to the state. This price, which constitutes the contractor’s gross revenue, is contractually stipulated based on estimated depreciation schedules, cost/expense schedules and a reasonable profit in light of the risk incurred. Repsol Ecuador, S.A. (Ecuador Branch), entered into the services agreement for Block 16, which came into force on January 1, 2011. In addition, on January 22, 2011, a services agreement was signed covering the Tivacuno Block. United States Offshore exploration and production The two government agencies responsible for offshore exploration and production are the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The BOEM is in charge of responsibly ensuring the economic and environmental development of US offshore resources. Its functions include the leasing (agreements that grant oil and gas mining rights), the revision and management of oil and gas exploration, the approval of development plans and carrying out analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and other environmental studies. The BSEE is responsible for safety and environmental supervision of offshore oil and gas operations. Its functions include the development and application of security and environmental regulations, the authorization of offshore exploration, development and production, the performance of inspections and the response to oil spills. Onshore exploration and production With regard to U.S. onshore exploration and production activities, the oil and gas industry is primarily regulated by the laws of the individual States, with the exception of certain environmental matters and operations on Federal land. At present, the Company has operations in Alaska, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas. In the different states, exploration and production activities are controlled by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, the Corporate Commission of Kansas, the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, the Corporate Commission of Oklahoma and the Railroad Commission of Texas. Each of these states has its own environmental protection agency. In Pennsylvania, the local Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for both environmental protection activities and the regulation of exploration and production activities. Federal authorities do have exclusive jurisdiction over certain environmental aspects that affect the gas and oil sector. The United States Environmental Protection Agency The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applies laws and regulations such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The environmental impact of the projects is regulated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which is managed by different Federal agencies depending on the type of project.

Transport The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) governs the transport of natural gas as part of inter‐State trade and the transport of oil via oil pipelines within the same field. The States regulate other types of transport. Liquefied natural gas The Natural Gas Act grants the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the exclusive power to regulate plants that import and export liquefied natural gas arriving in the United States and leaving the country with the authorization of the Office of Fossil Energy at the US Department of Energy (DOE). Trading of gas, crude oil and refined products The FERC regulates the sale of natural gas as part of inter‐State trade. A number of US regulatory bodies are empowered to regulate the oil and refined products trading market. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the power to regulate crude oil trading activities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates refined products marketed to private consumers such as gasoline and diesel. Trading of financial derivatives is regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). On December 18, 2015, the 2016 Consolidated Appropriation Act was passed (Public law no. 114‐113). This piece of legislation repeals Article 103 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), thereby eliminating the ban on exporting crude oil produced in the US. The legislation preserves the President's power to restrict oil exports in response to a national emergency, enforce trade sanctions and remedy oil supply scarcity or the sustained distortion of oil prices significantly above world market levels. Indonesia Under Indonesia's 1945 Constitution, all natural resources (including oil and gas) within Indonesian territory are owned and controlled by the State. The regulation of oil and natural gas in Indonesia is based on Law No. 22 of 2001 ("Law No. 22"), which sets out broad principles for the regulation of the industry. These principles are applied by means of a series of implementing regulations promulgated under Law No. 22, as well as ministerial regulations and decrees. Law No. 22 restructured and liberalized the State's control over the oil and gas industry. SKK Migas is the current successor to Perusahaan Pertambangan Minyak dan Gas Bumi Negara ("PERTAMINA") as the supervisory party to the Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs). The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources ("MEMR") is responsible for approving the first Plan of Development ("POD") under production sharing contracts and overseeing the State's ownership and management of oil and gas resources. With assistance from the Directorate General of Oil and Gas ("MIGAS"), the MEMR formulates government policy, determines the blocks to be opened for bidding, is responsible for approval of transfers by contractors of their participating interest (in consultation with SKK Migas) and issues the licenses required for the conduct of refining oil and gas marketing activities, such as the production of liquified natural gas using refining and marketing structures. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for issuing instructions concerning the basis of the Government's share derived from the exploitation of liquified natural gas and subordinated by Directorate General of Tax and Directorate General of Customs and Excise, determining the taxes, duties and excise due on LNG development activities, deciding on issues related to government guarantees and formulating, determining and implementing policies on State Owned Assets. Pursuant to Law No. 22, companies wishing to explore for and exploit oil and gas reserves must enter into a Cooperation Contract with SKK MIGAS. The form of Cooperation Contract typically entered into in respect of exploration and production activities in Indonesia is a PSC. Under a PSC the Government of Indonesia retains ownership of the oil and gas (prior to delivery) and the contractor bears all the risk and costs of exploration,
development and production in return for an agreed percentage share of oil and/or gas production and recovery of eligible operating costs from production. On January 16, 2017, the Government of Indonesia introduced a new form of PSC (the “Gross Split PSC”) under Minister of Energy & Mineral Resources Regulation No. 8 of 2017 regarding Gross Split Production Sharing Contract (“Regulation 8/2017”). On December 28, 2017, the Government of Indonesia enacted Government Regulation No. 53 of 2017 on the tax treatment of the Gross Split Production Sharing Contract (Government Regulation 53/2017), governing the tax conditions applicable to Gross Split PSCs. On June 17, 2018, following the announcement that Repsol Exploración South East Jambi BV (formerly Talisman West Bengara BV) had been successful in the 2018 tender process for South East Jambi, the company signed the South East Jambi PSC, the first Repsol PSC under the Gross Split variant. Peru Regulation of the hydrocarbons market in Peru is included in its Constitution. The Constitution states that the government promotes the private initiatives, recognizing the economic pluralism, and having the state a subsidiary role in terms of business concerns. The Constitution establishes that private and public business activity must be treated equally under the law, and those national and foreign investments are subject to the same conditions. In addition, the Constitution stipulates that the country's natural resources are the property of the state and that the terms and conditions of access to and use of these resources by private parties must be regulated by means of organic laws. Natural and legal persons, whether Peruvian or foreign, who pursue oil and gas activities must expressly subject themselves to the laws of the Republic of Peru, renouncing the right to any diplomatic recourse. The most important authorities with competence over Peruvian oil and gas matters are: the Ministry of Energy and Mining (MINEM for its acronym in Spanish), which is tasked with drafting, passing, proposing and applying sector policy and issuing complementary rules to keep sector regulations updated; the latter Ministry's Oil & Gas Department (DGH), which oversees application of and compliance with sector regulations; the Energy & Mining Investment Oversight Body (OSINERGMIN), tasked with oversight of the natural and legal persons carrying out activities related to the electricity and hydrocarbon sub‐sectors and the imposition of penalties for any breaches of the legal and technical obligations issued by the MINEM and PERUPETRO. The Environmental Assessment and Taxation Body (OEFA) is the technical institution specialized in ensuring compliance with the standards, obligations and incentives laid down in prevailing environmental regulations. Exploration and Production The Organic Law of Hydrocarbons (OLH), regulates this natural resource. To provide legal assurance to investors, it states that contracts under its framework shall be considered Contract‐Law, and therefore can only be modified by written agreement between the two parties. To achieve these goals the OLH created PERUPETRO, a state‐owned Limited Company organized in accordance with the General Corporate Law, to which the state, as owner of the hydrocarbons located in its territory, grants the right of ownership over the hydrocarbons, so that PERUPETRO can negotiate, execute and monitor exploration and/or exploitation contracts, with a licensee (Contractor) by means of License Agreements, Service Agreements and other forms of contracts authorized by MINEM. Hydrocarbon refining and marketing The OLH stipulates that any national or foreign individuals or legal entities may install, operate, and maintain petroleum refineries, plants for processing natural gas and condensed, natural asphalt, greases, lubricants, and petrochemicals, subject to the norms specifically established by The Mines and Energy Ministry. In Peru, the marketing of hydrocarbon derivatives is regulated by supply and demand.

Venezuela The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela stipulates that the mines and oil and gas fields, irrespective of their nature, located on national territory, under the territorial sea, in the exclusive economic zone or on the continental platform, belong to the Republic, are public‐domain goods and are, therefore, inalienable and imprescriptible. By virtue of organic law and to protect national interests, the Venezuelan State has reserved the Venezuelan oil and gas activities for itself. For reasons of economic and political sovereignty and for national strategic purposes, the State holds all of the shares of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), or the entity that may be created for the management of the oil industry. Venezuela’s Hydrocarbons Organic Law (LOH) regulates all matters regarding the exploration, operation, refining, industrialization, transportation, storage, sale and conservation of hydrocarbons, including related refined products and the works required to perform these activities. Pursuant to the LOH, the performance of activities involving the exploration, extraction, collection, transport and storage of hydrocarbons is reserved to the State, which may undertake them directly or through wholly‐owned State companies. The State may also conduct these activities through Mixed Owned Companies whose equity interest is over 50%. The Mixed Companies agreements referred to in the LOH do not impose restrictions on this legal form of company in terms of transferring funds in the form of cash dividends, loan repayments or the redemption of shareholder advances in foreign currency (USD). Activities relating to the exploration, operation, collection, storage, use, industrialization, sale and transportation of non‐associated natural gas and associated gas are subject to the provisions set out in the Organic Gaseous Hydrocarbons Law and its regulations. On January 14, 2016, Decree No. 2184 was published in the Extraordinary Official Journal of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela No. 6,214, declaring a State of Economic Emergency throughout the entire territory of the Republic for a period of 60 days, providing the State with the power to enact exceptional and extraordinary economic, social, environmental, political and legal measures, in addition to others. This Decree has been successively extended on 17 occasions, with the most recent, Presidential Decree No. 3,736, published on January 11, 2019, in Extraordinary Official Gazette No. 6,424. The Constituent Assembly was called by the President of the Bolivarian Republic, Nicolás Maduro, via Presidential Decree No. 2,830, published on May 1, 2017; all public authorities are subordinated under the Constituent Assembly and are obliged to comply and ensure compliance with the legal documents issued by said Assembly. The maximum term of this Assembly has been set at two years. Official Gazette No. 41,310, of December 29, 2017 contained the publication of the Constitutional Foreign Production Investment Law, establishing the principles, policies and procedures that regulate foreign production investments in goods and services. The special legislation regulating foreign investments in specific sectors of the economy shall prevail over said law, including those addressing hydrocarbon matters, mining and telecommunications matters. To date, the relevant sectoral regulation has not been published.
On January 5, 2018, the term ended, established in Resolution No. 164 of the Ministry of the People's Power of Petroleum, published in the Official Gazette of December 6, 2017, for the review and validation of all national and international contracts signed and those that are about to be signed, by PDVSA, its subsidiaries and the Mixed Companies where PDVSA owns shares. To date, the review process continues in progress in the Mixed Companies, and the results of this process are awaited. On August 6, 2018, the Ministry of the People's Power for Petroleum,
published Resolution 102 in Official Gazette No. 41,454, providing for the creation of a Special Procurement Committee at PDVSA, in order to respond to the requirements for the acquisition of goods, execution of works and provision of services for construction, maintenance plans and implementation of crude oil flow improvers required in the Hugo Chávez Frías Orinoco Belt, in a centralized manner. On September 4, 2018, the Ministry of the People's Power for Petroleum, published Resolution 115 in Official Gazette No. 41,474, creating a Technical Committee for the Reorganization of PDVSA and its subsidiaries. Once constituted, and in a period of no more than 30 days effective the publication of the Resolution, the Technical Committee must submit a work plan with a time line of activities subject to the company's priorities to the Chairman of PDVSA. Monetary regime On February 20, 2018, the launch of the "Petro" cryptocurrency was announced, backed by reserves from field 1 of the Ayacucho Block in the Hugo Chávez Frías Orinoco Oil Belt, in order to create an alternative currency to the dollar and a digital and transparent economy for the benefit of emerging countries. Such purchase may be made in convertible currencies: yuan, Turkish lira, euro and rouble. On March 19, the President of the United States of America signed an executive order prohibiting U.S. and U.S. residents from making transactions with any digital currency issued by the Venezuelan government as of January 9, 2018, which increases that country's sanctions regime on Venezuelan natural and juridical persons. On July 25, 2018, Presidential Decree No. 3,548 was published in Official Gazette No. 41,446, establishing that from August 20, 2018, onwards, all monetary amounts expressed in national currency prior to that date, must be converted to the new monetary unit, dividing the current units by one hundred thousand (100,000). On August 2, 2018, the Constituent Assembly, published a Decree revoking the Exchange Rate System Law in Official Gazette No. 41,452, with a view to granting both natural and legal persons, whether Venezuelan or foreign nationals, full guarantees in terms of their involvement in the country's socioeconomic development model. On September 7, 2018, the Central Bank of Venezuela ("BCV" published in the Extraordinary Official Journal No. 6,405, the so‐called Exchange Agreement No.
11 ("the Exchange Agreement"), the purpose of which is to establish the free
convertibility of the currency nationwide. This Exchange Agreement revoked the Exchange Agreements that were in force at the time of its publication. The most relevant aspects are: i) development of the main principles of the new Exchange Market System; ii) reestablishment of the free convertibility of the currency and the lifting of restrictions on exchange transactions; iii) capacity of BCV to centralise, administer and regulate operations under the new Exchange Market System; iv) all foreign currency purchase and sale transactions will be performed at the weighted average exchange rate that the BCV publishes on its website; v) recognition of the validity of contracts entered into in foreign currency, vi) guarantee of private company participation through: (a) purchase and sale of positions in foreign currency (auctions); (b) exchange transactions at the retail price and; (c) purchase and sale of securities in national currency; (vii) regulation of exchange system applicable to the public oil sector.
